- ** HISTORY **
-
- 09/09/94 - 14:24:00
- A limited alpha was released with still a few bugs.
-
- 09/09/94 - 15:39:00
- Shortly after, the first beta was release that corrected the bugs with the
- Change date/time function and with the Space bug. It should be Okay now.
- I still need the data for versions 0.9 and 1.1 of DOOM.
-
- ** GENERAL **
-
- A utility for DOOM, versions 0.9 to 2!
-
- This is a handy little program for all you PWAD authors out there that
- want a way of knowing what version of DOOM the user is using. You
- can use DMCHECK to verify the version of DOOM. It will also tell you if
- it is registered or not. I added a few usefull features for those who have
- more complex PWAD setups, like patches for monsters and floors, you'll
- want to know if there's enough room on the hard disk to do the update
- and you may also want to set the time and date back to their original
- state after modifying a file or two. You can do all that with DMCHECK.
-
- There is also a small batch file called DOOMVER.BAT to show you how
- you can use DMCHECK.
-
- ** USAGE **
-
- DMCHECK [/q] [/h] [S[pace] [Drive] NeededSpace | V[ersion] [DOOMversion] |
- C[hange] filename date time | W[hat]]
- /q Do not display output (except in case of error or help).
- /h Display this help screen.
- Space Returns zero (ERRORLEVEL = 0) if [Drive] free space is more
- than or equal to [NeededSpace].
- Drive Drive to test free space for.
- NeededSpace Amount of free space required.
- Version Returns zero (ERRORLEVEL = 0) if the DOOM version number is
- the same as [DOOMversion]. Will return 250 if installed DOOM
- version is not the registered version.
- DOOMversion The DOOM version number to test for (ex: 1.2, 1.666, II).
- Change Change date and time of file.
- Returns ERRORLEVEL = 1 if unsucessfull.
- filename Filename to change date and time of.
- date Date to change to in MM-DD-YY format.
- time Time to change to in HH:MM:SS format.
