- Program: DOOMSAVER
- Author: Dave Nix
-
- DOOMSAVER is freeware that animates id Software's Doom characters
- across your screen. It works only with the registered mail-order
- version of Doom.
-
- DOOMSAVER contains no bitmapped graphics data from Doom. It loads all
- graphics from the DOOM.WAD file already on your hard-drive.
-
- Although DOOMSAVER is not a terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program, you
- can run it manually to act as a "screen saver".
-
- WARNING: DOOMSAVER displays all the Doom beasts and static background
- art. This spoils the surprise if you haven't played through all the
- levels yet.
-
- DOOMSAVER requires 3 parameters.
- 1. full path to your DOOM.WAD file
- 2. delay per frame (milliseconds)
- 3. frames before loading new graphics
-
- Example:
- doomsavr c:\doom\doom.wad 80 110
-
- You can disable the beasts or the background art by adding "nobeasts" or
- "nobackground" as an optional last parameter.
-
- There is a pause each time new graphics are loaded from the WAD file.
-
- Hit any key to exit from DOOMSAVER.
-
- Tip: Write a one line batch file called SS.BAT (SS=screen saver, use
- another name if you want). The one line should look like the example
- above. Copy DOOMSAVR.EXE and SS.BAT somewhere in your path. Then simply
- enter "ss" at any command line to run DOOMSAVER. Use it when you want
- to leave your computer but don't want to turn it off.
