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
