Doom LMP Utility System
Version 1.4, Dec 2 1994
Copyright 1994, Raymond Chi

LmpUtil is a utility program that allows you to display and modify
Doom / Doom II LMP files (recorded games). It will display detailed
information about the LMP since most LMPs on the internet doesn't have
an accompanying text file.
You can, for example, use LmpUtil to change the recording player in
a multi-player demo, so that music, sound effect, and frags shows the
changed player. F12 during the play will not completely switch you to the
other player because the status bar still shows your status, not the player
you switched to.
You can also use LmpUtil to set the LMP version anywhere from 1.4 to
1.9, so you don't have to install a different version of Doom just to view
the LMPs. (Works 80% of the time, except when maps are rebuild)
You also can use LmpUtil to convert 1.2 LMPs to the newer LMP format,
1.4 - 1.7a. However, with the improved mouse recording in later versions
of Doom, many 1.2 LMPs recorded with the mouse get out of sync quickly.
Keyboard recorded games, on the other hand, works quite well under 1.666.
This allowed me to view many of my good old 1.2 LMPs!
Here's some sample output of the program :

To convert a 1.2 LMP to 1.6 LMP, simply type
lmputil /t source.lmp target.lmp
Of course, credit must go to id software and Uwe Girlich for the
unofficial Doom LMP spec.
Since this is the very first program I release into the public, I would
appreciate any feedbacks you have about the program.
