Description             : In the Doom Bible, Tom Hall implies that
                          Wolfenstein (and, presumably, Doom) have a scale of
                          16 units to 1 real-world foot.  Doomguy is thus
                          three and a half feet tall.
                          
                          This small mod corrects that error, enlarging
                          Doomguy to a more appropriate 96 units, or six
                          feet.

                          Playing with this mod will also reveal numerous
                          bugs in the stock levels: they are much too short
                          for a human of normal stature.  I strongly
                          recommend binding a key to crouch.  Or perhaps to
                          crouch toggle.
Tested With             : ZDoom 2.8.1
