- Coded by Christian Antkow (cant@softchoice.com)
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- *NOTE*
- ======
-
- DOOMLoad v3.0 is a working BETA! If you discover a problem, please let me
- know so I can fix it.
-
- Bugs from DOOMLD3B.ZIP have mostly been squashed. Please report back if
- you find any more bugs or would like any more options added.
-
- Unzip this in your DOOM directory with the -o PKZIP option to overwrite
- the old v3.0b files if you are upgrading and delete your DOOMLOAD.DAT file
- if you are upgrading.

- The Lowdown
- -----------
-
- DOOMLoad v3.0 is quite possibly one of the best DOOM Front ends around.
- Fully mouse (or keyboard) driven interface gives you quick and easy access
- to everything you might want to set up to get DOOM up and running.
-
- As previously, DOOMLoad v3.0 supports QuickNet (tm) for Novel Networks for
- up to four players. One player configures the DOOM session, while the
- other three sit back and wait for the quicknet packet.
-
- Also implemented, is null modem serial link (for those corporate outbound
- reps who sit in lobbies waiting for a meeting which is half an hour away)
- support and WORKING modem support (Sorry, I had to do away with QuickModem
- due to the "robustness" of id's serial drivers. QuickModem would have
- degraded the playspeed. I'll do more work on this for v3.1 though...)
- Working modem support is based on the settings in the MODEM.STR file
- packed with the DOOM15BT.ZIP file (Required!)
-
- PWAD validation routines tell you, AT A GLANCE, just about everything you'd
- want to know about a WAD before you play it. What levels they replace,
- if there's additional, music, graphics, sounds, and if the PWAD supports
- deathmatch. Select a WAD, and it will automatically adjust the
- Episode/Mission to start you there.
-
- DOOMLoad v3.0 now supports a dialing directory for up to 2500 of your
- DOOM buddies (Oh Yes!!!), up to 3000 different modem strings, up to
- 4000 PWADs all accessable by one touch alpha keys (OH YES!). Ie: Press "G"
- and it will take you to the start of the G's, then press "Z" and it will
- take you to the start of the Z's...
-
- Also integrated is a LMP recorder/viewer which is fully supportive of DOOMs
- multiplayer recording facility. Don't argue about who killed who with one
- shotgun blast, capture the moment(s) and play them back for bragging
- rights!
-
- You've used other DOOM Front ends, but now it's time to rediscover
- DOOMLoad, the first, and quite possibly the best DOOM Front end around.
