PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT - it's not long...
1) This editor is NOT derived from any other work. It was created
from scratch by me, Geoff Allan. During the construction of this
program, I learned more than I wanted to know about some math
routines. In some cases, these had been performed better by
someone else. In those cases where permission was given, I
used those alternative routines.
2) The Id License agreement specifically allows for registered users
to create their own maps. Since Id has not released a map editor,
I and several others have decoded the data structure and built
our own editors. This has received tacit approval by Id, as
evidenced by their agreement entered into with all map editor
authors.
3) It has always been my intention, from December 11, 1993 when I
received Shareware Doom, to create a map editor which was as easy
to use as possible. Several other editors exist which allow you
to create maps, but they also require a rather thorough under-
standing of how maps work. My goal is to make it as easy as drawing
your idea. All of the gritty details should be looked after by the
editor. That remains my goal.
4) I refuse to enter into any argument regarding the relative merits
or failings of this or any other editor. Everyone is entitled to
their own preferences, yourself included. For my part, I hope that
you prefer THIS editor. Any other attitude would be unprofessional,
and rather childish, I think. This is policy for me and all others
who are in any way attached to this project. Any nasty messages
about other editors DO NOT COME FROM THIS CAMP.
