' DEHACK 3 - The FRAME TABLE
'
' These crude programs extract information from the DOOM.EXE or DOOM.WAD
' files and store it into a TXT file, suitable for perusing or printing.
' If you want to print the results, you might have to reformat it. Please
' don't waste reams of paper. Thanks.
' All of these only work on the 1.2 registered doom.exe, because I use
' simple byte offset numbers, not search strings.
'
' IMPORTANT: If you don't like typing pathnames, modify the next section,
' un-comment it, and remove or comment-out the input section.

' infile$ = "c:\doom\doom.exe"
' outfile$ = "c:\-\doom\12\dehack3.txt"
