I agree that this is probably the case for most of them... however, one 
mentioned case of a Doom sound effect was indeed taken from Doom... the sound 
occurs in "Where Boys Fear to Trend" on the new Smashing Pumpkins album 
(Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness), if you look in the fine print in the 
CD book, it says "Explosion from DOOM courtesy of id Software, Inc. and bobby 
prince"

 kill someone with  the lemons (maybe     .-'          `----.          `-.
 by  shoving them  down his  throat)?"    `-.  piml...@ix.netcom.com  .-'
