Thank you for trying EZDoom! 2.0 Doom ][ Shell and Setup Program.

This program runs in DOS, but has a Microsoft Windows Appearance.


Installation Instructions:

This is the really easy part.  All you have to do is copy the
EZDoom22.exe file to your Doom 2 directory.  EZDoom22.exe is a
self extracting file that will create three files in your Doom ][
directory.  They are:

1.      EZDoom.EXE ......... The Main Executable File
2.      EZ.BAT ............. Batch file used to start EZDoom!
3.      EZDoom.TXT ......... The file your are now reading

When EZDoom creates Batch Files, those batch files will be stored 
in the directory where you installed Doom 2.

IMPORTANT:  EZDoom! 2.0 must be run from the directory where you
installed Doom 2!  If you use the file EZ.BAT, and the program cannot
find the Doom2.EXE file, it will prompt you to copy the EZDoom! files
over to the correct location.


This version of Doom 2 currently operates with Doom 2 1.666 through
Doom 2 1.7a and perhaps also with later patches that come out.


What is EZDoom! 2.0 and how much does it cost?

1.      EZDoom! 2.0 is a DOS based Doom ][ loader, designed for Doom ][.
	it has NOT been tested on Doom 1 at all, so don't expect it 
	to work for Doom 1.

2.      EZDoom! 2.0 is Totally, 100% free.  However, if you like the
	program, I would appreciate hearing any comments you might
	have.  You can contact me (Dave Sloane) Through my Pager, 
	at 214-804-6270.


What are the features of EZDoom!?


1.      EZDoom! 2.0 supports most of the common Doom ][ command line
	switches, including support for Warp to levels 31 & 32.

	Using EZDoom! 2.0, you can play in single or modem modes.

	EZDoom! 2.0 also has a built in Text Editor for editing various
	text files (.CFG, .TXT and so forth).

	EZDoom! 2.0 allows you to use your mouse to select your game
	options, and then decide to play you game right then, or 
	create a batch file to run your game later from the DOS
	prompt automatically.  Two files will be created when you
	create a batch file.

	1.      The batch file itself
	2.      A .CFG file that contains the parameters that the
		batch file will use to start Doom ][.

	Using the Text Editor, you can also edit the batch files
	that were created for you by EZDoom!.


2.      This program will load one or more external wad files for Doom ][.
	Because there are so many WAD files out there...I cannot say for
	sure that this program will work for each WAD.  For example if a 
	WAD happens to be a Doom 1 WAD then it probably won't work.


3.      Please distribute this program.


4.      Thanks to the people at ID Software for such a great game.  I wish        
	to also thank Terrill Miller who has (and still is) helping me
	debug this application.  I also wish to thank James Horton for
	the same thing, and his advice and Doom ][ Gaming Tips to make me 
	a better player, Although he still kicks my butt!!! :(.  I would 
	like to thank the CompUSA BBS Staff for their patience, and for
	having such a great BBS!.
