*****************************************************************************
* DOOM! Front End v1.00 *
*****************************************************************************
I wrote this program to make it less of a burden to get into doom when you
need to specify special parameters. The front end program supports one
play games, Modem, Serial, and IPX network games. It also allows you to
choose from the following options:
Episode Number (Game)
Level (1-9)
No Monsters (Great for DeathMatches)
DeathMatch (Multi-Player Only)
Modem Status (Already Connected, Wait For Call, Dial)
COM port selection
As for how to use this progam, I think it is pretty self explanatory!
NOTES:
DFE is intended for use with registered DOOM v1.2 or later.
The following ID supplied files need to be present SERSETUP (for Serial/
Modem Games) and IPXSETUP (for IPX Network Games).
DFE needs to be in the same directory as DOOM.EXE
When using DFE you should make sure the DOS command MODE.COM is
in the path. This is used for setting the baud rate on the selected COM port.
If it can not be found, DFE will display an error message, pause, and then
continue with SERSETUP (part of DOOM).
Unless you are already connected with an IPX compatible network, you will
notice that the IPX Net game selection is disabled. The program auto-senses
an installed IPX Driver.
DFE v2.00 is already underway. I plan to include a map, sprite viewer as
well as the capability to save your current configurations in DFE.
A note on IPX Networks:
Jackson Software can provide you with all the hardware and software to
setup and run IPX based networking systems to run DOOM (and any other
software that can make use of Ethernet IPX communications; including but
not limited to Novell, Windows for Work Groups, Microsoft LAN Manager,
SUN PC-NFS, and FTP PC/TCP). The following are the prices for Networking

1 Ethernet Card (Novell Compatible)
