=======================
DEU
DOOM EDITOR UTILITIES
Version 5.21
DJGPP/GO32 version
=======================
A FIRST WORD
============
Before you read this, you should read "README.1ST", which contains
information about DEU in general.
WHAT IS DEU 5.21 - DJGPP/GO32?
=============================
A 32-bit version of Deu 5.21.
WHAT IS DJGPP/GO32?
===================
DJGPP - Copyright (C) DJ Delorie
GO32 - Copyright (C) DJ Delorie
GO32 is a 32-bit 80386 DOS extender. It supports full virtual memory
with paging to disk.
DJGPP is DJ Delorie's port of GCC to DOS.
(see the file 'COPYLEFT' for full information !!!)
WHAT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE "ORIGINAL" 5.2 ?
==========================================
It's faster, can use all of your available memory (including that on
your harddrive). That should be enough.
Also, you won't be able to run it on systems having DPMI. This means
that it won't work under Windows or OS/2, for example... The reason
for this is that it makes use of a graphics library, GRX, which doesn't
work with DPMI (see 'COPYLEFT'). Hopefully this will be fixed when
the next version of GRX is released. (soon?!?)
Remember this : If you can't get it running - use the "original" version
instead. See under DOCUMENTATION below where you can get it.
*NO* documention (except this file), examples etc. is included in
this distribution. To get that, get the "original" version.
RUNNING DEU 5.21 DJGPP/GO32
===========================
Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basicly, you need a 386 or 486 which is able to run programs for
go32. A miminum of 512K RAM is required. You'll also need a VGA
screen (and card) supporting a minimal resolution of 640x480x256.
But as I said above, it's possible that you can't get it running
on your system, if so use the "original" version! (see below)
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unzip it into any directory on your hard drive using commands like:
mkdir \games\doom\deu [create a directory for it.]
pkunzip a:deu52gcc.zip \games\doom\deu [unzip from your a: drive.]
You will also have to set up things for go32:
[ The following is an excerpt from the docs for go32 ]
* Edit the included file 'runme.bat' to meet your requirements:
set GO32TMP=c:/tmp
^^^ this is where your paging file goes - if not set, the
variables TMP and TEMP are checked in that order. This
should be a real drive.
set GO32=driver c:/djgpp/drivers/SOMETHING.grd gw 1024 gh 768
^^^ whatever driver works with your VGA
The GO32 environment variable:
This variable controls the options available in go32. The syntax of
this variable is:
SET GO32=[parm [value]] [parm [value]] . . .
Parameters: ( excerpt )
nodpmi don't use dpmi even if you find it.
emu [path] Use the specified file as the 80387 emulator
driver [path] Use the specified file as the graphics driver
gw [width] Default graphics width
gh [height] Default graphics height
nc [colors] Number of colors
These parameters may occur in any order.
Examples:
set GO32=driver c:/games/doom/deu/drivers/tseng4k.grd gw 800 gh 600 nc 256
if you need a 387-emulator:
set GO32=emu c:/games/doom/deu/emu/emu387 driver ...
DOCUMENTATION
=============
You should get the documentation with the original DEU ( Borland C version )
The latest version of DEU and DEU DJGPP/GO32 is available at the following
FTP sites:
For European users:
bear.montefiore.ulg.ac.be (139.165.8.25)
/pub/doom/deu/deu521.zip ("original" version, docs, examples, source)
/pub/doom/deu/deu521gc.zip (djgpp/go32 version, source, NO docs/ex:s)
For other countries:
infant2.sphs.indiana.edu (129.79.234.115)
/pub/doom/deu/deu521{gc}.zip
You will probably also find it on other FTP sites, such as ftp.uwp.edu,
wuarchive.wustl.edu, hope.cit.hope.edu...
If you cannot use FTP (because you have no direct Internet access), you
can get the files using FTPmail. Send E-mail to: ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com,
with "HELP" as the only word in the message (no subject, no signature).
When you are familiar with FTPmail, you can use it to retreive the files
from one of the Doom FTP servers.
CREDITS
=======
DEU has been created by Brendon Wyber (b.wyber@csc.canterbury.ac.nz) and
Raphaël Quinet (quinet@montefiore.ulg.ac.be). The original port to
DJGPP/GO32 has been done by Per Allansson (c91peral@und.ida.liu.se),
with good help from Per Kofod (per@ollie.dnk.hp.com). A lot of other
people have contributed to the DEU project, see the DEU documentation.
If you have contributions to make, read README.1ST to find out how
to contribute to DEU.
A LAST WORD
===========
Remember, I only ported this. And it was fairly easy too. All the "real"
work has been done by others. I just tweaked their work a bit.
