Path: mantis!not-for-mail From: Tom Lees Newsgroups: rec.games.computer.doom.announce Subject: DoomRun: WADS which automatically load DeHackEd patches, etc. Date: 15 Apr 1996 18:49:45 +0100 Organization: Unknown organization Lines: 20 Sender: tony@mantis.co.uk Approved: doom@mantis.co.uk Message-ID: <4krdpk$14e@portal.atak> Hi! I have uploaded the file DOOMRUN.ZIP, which contains the program DoomRun version 0.1 to ftp.cdrom:/pub/doom/incoming. It should appear in the newstuff directory soon. It intercepts the DOOM command line, and checks any WAD files you add using the -file option. If they contain lumps with certain names, it does special things, e.g. applies DeHackEd patches. This is only the first BETA version, but I should soon be able to release a better working version that can handle everything internally, and also support a few more things. You can also use the program to execute a different DOOM program when playing a network or serial game with IPXSETUP, SERSETUP, or any other driver which does not support this. -- Tom Lees Tussman's Law: Nothing is as inevitable as a mistake whose time has come.
