Thank you for downloading this January's  DEFiANT  Pack. Based in
Bakersfield, California, USA, AC  of  8o5. This is our Premier pack,
So let me tell  you  a little  about  the   group. It was originally
named PENTiUM  [PTM],  Which  started in September  of 1994, but, by
the suggestion of Betrayer,  the  name was  changed to DEFiANT [DFT]
In October of 1994, and  we  dropped  both  coordinators  along with
most  of  the  artist/poets/coder/ect.,  and  started new. We gained
LiQUiD  iMAGE,  ETERNAL CHAOS,  iNSANiTY MAN,   ANARCHY-X,  BLAZEN1,
BiNARY BEAST,  and  PHATAL  Since   Then.   Along  with them, XANAX,
ME [DEATH ADDER], and ZEN DOG Make  up  the group this month.  We'll
hopefully get more members this month.  =)

ART DEPARTMENT

Our Art Department Is  fairly good  in my  opinion,  considering
That this  is our  first pack. Let's talk about  ansi first.  XanaX,
Our  Senior Artist,  Done  An Awesome  Job  on  the ansi department,
Along with Me, LiQUiD iMAGE, and  ETERNAL CHAOS. ETERNAL CHAOS Would
Have had more, but I didn't get in  contact with him.  LiQUID  iMAGE
Will Be Leaving The Group. As for  Rip, Phatal  Done an  Awesome Job
With The Only Rip, A DFT Promo, In This  Pack. As For Ascii, I Think
That Me  And iNSANiTY MAN did an  awesome  job!  XanaX Was Also Kind
Enough To  Do a File_id.diz for  this pack. And For Last, The VGA's.
I did an ok  VGA DFT Promo, considering that it was my first VGA.

CODiNG DEPARTMENT

Our  Coding  Department  has  had   a  crisis.  Our  only  coder,
ANARCHY-X, Done an app for  us, DFT-APP.ZIP,  But  He  included  The
Whisper [Whis] Virus. We  cleaned it completely,  So if you  Have  a
DFT-APP.ZIP thas ISN'T  included  in  the  pack,  I  would  strongly
suggest searching your hard  drive with McAfee's Virus Scanner v1.17
or F-PROT. Use F-PROT to  clean  your  hard  drive  if you do find a
Virus. For doing this, ANARCHY-X  Will be  deleted  from  the group.
Hopefully this hasn't caused too much  damage.  We  didn't include a
viewer this month, but when we get  a new  coder  and  get situated,
We'll  redo  the  APP  and include aviewer. I do  apologize for  any
Problems this may have caused.  =(

LiT & MUSiC DEPARTMENTS

I've decided to put these two together, since they both only have
Me as a member. The lit department was ok, but we need more members.
In  the  music  department,  I've include four mods that are old but
were never officially released  in  a pack, which have "- MOD" after
title.

APPLYiNG TO DEFiANT

It's simple and easy to do. Just fill out an application and  U/L
it to  the  WHQ.  Don't worry about the virus, if you  use  the  zip
included with the pack, DFT-APP.ZIP, it's cleaned.
