About
-=-=-

DoomGATE is my attempt at a complete, helpful Doom Manager for the Amiga.
It can automatically setup the drive buffers that Doom needs, and check
the stack is set at a resonable level. It provides easy access to
all the Doom commandlines, with bubble help if you can't remember
what they all do. The GUI provides simple access to networking,
with a set of radio gadgets for both the number of nodes, and your
node number. Also incororated into the program is a large amount
of information about Doom itself, including a FAQ and a list
of known "Cheats". This will be expanded as more questions and information
is collected. There is also section allowing modification of your .doomrc
file, setting such things as ChatMacro's and volumes, detail levels and
gamma correction.

History
-=-=-=-

* DEH Popasl Gadget Added.
* Corrected range of sliders in settings. Thanks to John Newman.
* Swapped "High, Low" around in Detail Level settings. Thanks to John Newman.
* Multiple WAD selection via rexxtricks.library listview(), removed
  USE button from custom WADS list page.
* If WAD list isn't loaded, but Use Custom Wads is selected,
  the WAD list is automatically loaded so that the WAD listview can
  collect data from it.
* Tried to make it more obvious that you can edit data/CommandLines.data
  to set up your own command lines and default optiolns.
------older----

  as $home now.
* Moved two player button to better location.
* Improved GUI workings of Network page.
* Removed texts about the different ports, as it was old anyway.
* Support for configuring multiple doom ports at once.
* Cleaned up a few things :-)
* .doomrc buttons now disable when its a bad time to use them, so
  that you can't :-)

  of nodes required for you to be that player is now automatically
