                           **********************

============================================================================
    Introduction
============================================================================

  DDF2VC is a DDF to VavoomC converted.

============================================================================
    Using DDF2VC
============================================================================

Follow the following steps:

1. Create a game directory (see vavmref.txt for all steps required).
2. Copy edge.wad here and rename it to wad0.wad.
3. Create directory named "baseddf" in your game directory and copy all
original EDGE DDF files here.
4. Create directory named "ddf" in your game directory and copy your custom
DDF files here.
5. Create directory named "progs" in your game directory and copy contents
of directory progs/ddf from Vavoom sources or progs sources into this
directory.
6. Create directory named "scripts" in your game directory.
7. Run ddf2vc from your game directory. This should create some .vc files in
directory "progs" and some .txt files in directory "scripts".
8. Compile progs (use compile.bat or run make).
9. Run Vavoom using -devgame option to specify your game directory.

============================================================================
    Option Descriptions
============================================================================

The following options are recognised:

    -game      changes game directory, by default it's current directory.

    -baseddf   specifies directory with original EDGE DDF files, by default
               it's <gamedir>/baseddf.

    -ddf       specifies directory with custom DDF files, by default it's
               <gamedir>/ddf.

    -progs     specifies directory where VavoomC files will be placed, by
               default it's <gamedir>/progs.

    -scripts   specifies directory where .txt script files will be placed,
               by default it's <gamedir>/scripts.
