**** What is DooMenu:

     DooMenu will search thru WAD files for the correct map/episode for easy
play!  It will also allow IPX network, modem, and null-modem play, or stand
alone play quickly and easily thru a menu which is far better than the one
packaged with Doom.  DooMenu allows you to choose coorperative, or deathmatch
with respawn or no monsters on or off, it can load a save game, or use an
external WAD file.  It will ask you for the skill, episode, episode map,
number to dial, and weather to disable call waiting.  It can store up to 9
different default friends for speed dialing.  It is very quick and does a lot
more than the Doom setup does.  The Doom setup does not support -nomonsters,
-devparm -wart epi lev, -respawn, -file, or call waiting.  DooMenu does this
and more.

**** Explain How DooMenu use external WAD files?

     DooMenu looks in the doom directory for all wad files besides the main
doom wad file.  If any are found it adds the option to load an external
wad file at the episode prompt.  Once you select this you are given a 
list of all wad file in the dir.  Use the arrow keys and highlight the
one you want and then it will use that wad file in to play.  Make sure the 
person your playing with also has loaded the same wad file.  Once you have
selected the wad you want, doomenu automatically looks in the wad file to
find the first level the external wad edited, and then automatically
warp to that level.  DooMenu will also record the number of times
each of wad you have has been played, so it will be easy to spot wads 
you haven't tried yet.  This will be stored in DOOMENU.WDI. 
If you find that you can't get wads to work and have read the docs fully, 
leave me a comment and maybe it's not you.

**** Does DooMenu support different SERSETUP's not made by ID?

     Yes.  It will send the commands as normal to sersetup.exe, so just
name your new sersetup to sersetup.exe.  If you need to add an command
line option to sersetup everytime, for example you need to send -14400
then just type 'DOOMENU -14400'.  You can pass up to 9 commands thru doomenu
to the new sersetup.

**** How to Start:

  1)  Edit the doomenu.bat.
      a) Add your network type to the 'SET DOOMTYPE=' line.
      b) Add your com port to the 'SET DOOMCOM=' line.
      c) Add your ipx port to the 'SET DOOMIPX=' line.
      d) Add your call waiting status to the 'SET DOOMCALL=' line.
      e) Add any phone numbers you call often to it on the 'SET CALLER1='
         and 'SET NUMBER1=' lines.
    
*NOTE* Edit doomenu.bat for a full explaination of all parameters.
       If you do not have IPX port or com port leave it blank. 

Example DOOMENU.BAT:

     set doomtype=1
     set doomcom=2
     set doomipx=
     set doomcall=2
     set caller1=Joe Doe
     set number1=555-5555
     set caller2=Mary Bob        
     set number2=1-900-555-5555        
     set caller3=        
     set number3=        
     set caller4=        
     set number4=        
  (ect...)

This will set use the telephone modem, set the default comport to 2, add
*70 to all numbers dialed and assign names and numbers to only 2
slots.  This is quite acceptable.  When DooMenu loads up it will ask
you to dial Mary Bob, or Joe Doe, or a another number.  Select Mary
Bob and it will call 1-900-555-5555.

The DOOMTYPE can be 3 numbers.  1 if you want to always use the telephone
modem, 2 if you want to always use nul-modem, 3 if you want to always
use IPX network.

The DOOMCALL can be 2 numbers. 1 if you want never add *70, 2 if you
want to ALWAYS add *70, or leave it blank if you want to choose every
time.  

After you have configured doomenu.bat, all you need to do is to type DOOMENU 
and it will load up and ask you a series of questions.  Answer them and
eventully it will load up sersetup.exe and start calling or answering.
