Installation instructions:  Put all .VBX files in your
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  Put all other files in some other 
directory.  Make sure you have VBRUN300.DLL in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory. (VBRUN300.DLL is located on BBSs everywhere)

If you have any suggestions for improvements or find any bugs, let me
know via matt.tagliaferri@pcohio.com.  

Files Included:

DOOMCAD.EXE   the program 
DOOMCAD.LST   .INI file (then why isn't it named .INI?)
DOOMCAD.HLP   Help file 
README.1ST    Duh

CMDIALOG.VBX  Windows stuff
COMMDLG.DLL   ditto
THREED.VBX    ditto
MHAS200.VBX   ditto
MHSL200.VBX   ditto
VB3D.DLL      3D stuff

NODEBLD.EXE   the DOS port of the node/blockmap building algorithms.
              Run with -H to see command line options.  This runs
              much faster than the node builder in Windows, so you
              can save your WAD files without building the Nodes in 
              DOOMCAD, then run them through NODEBLD. 
       

not included: VBRUN300.DLL, available on BBSs everywhere

NOTE: if you have DOOMCAD 4.0, you can delete the following file,
located in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory: VBX3D.VBX
