Description:    Wadload is a 4DOS batch file which greatly automates doom 
                solo or net playing with external PWADS.  When you run Wadload,
                you choose the PWAD from a list, specify solo or net [if net, 
                specify coop or death;# of players;port number], and you're 
                on your way.  No more nasty command line parameters!!

Requirements:   You need to be running 4DOS, which is an incredible replacement
                for command.com.  4DOS, which was created by JP Software, P.O.
                Box 1470, E. Arlington, MA 02174, USA (617) 646-3975, can be
                obtained as shareware by ftp from ftp.std.com in /vendors/
                jpsoft/4dos.
                
                In order to run a netgame, you need to be running IPX, or have
                the NWClient software (LSL, card driver, IPXODI) in a file
                called startnet.bat.

Locations:      Download Wadload as wadload.zip from infant2.shps.indiana.edu
                in /pub/doom/incoming, and later in /pub/doom/misc/

Credits:        To JP Software for providing such a fine piece of work as 4DOS.
                To ASRE, for the utility Wadname v1.0 which I use here to auto-
                load the episode and level numbers.
                To Bob, Tim, Kern, Don, and Kerry (The Deathmatch Gang) for 
                usability testing and advice.
                
Instructions:   a)IF you are not running Novell, make sure your ipx drivers
                are in your PATH and in a file called "startnet.bat".
                a)unzip wadload.zip in your root directory
                b)move wadname.exe to your wads directory
                c)put the following statements in your autoexec.bat and reboot:
                       1)SET DOOMDIR=_[path & directory where doom is located]
                       2)SET WADDIR=_[path & directory where your pwads are]
                       For example: SET WADDIR= D:\games\doom1_2\wads
                       3)IF you're running IPX, SET IPXON=Y               
                d)type wad
                e)select wad from list, then if solo, just play. If net,
                specify #players, death or solo, and port #, that's it.
