This package includes 119 glyph decal objects based on Yandros' pioneering
work in "What Lies Below." I have recolored (for my own needs) and added 
to his original glyph decals.

Yandros also wrote & published a tutorial on the use of his decals to open
secret doors by frobbing a glowing glyph in front of the door:
