If you have the 6 episode version of the map printer (wmap41.zip I believe)
for Wolf3D, you can make it print the SOD maps by making a copy of the
maphead.sod and gamemaps.sod files with the same name but a wl6 extension.
It reads them fine then, except for an error at the end where it tries to
print an extra map. All real maps are printed. Unfortunately, there's a
lot of new objects in SOD, so you get lots of errors. If anyone wants an
updated version of the wmapobj.dat and wmapwall.dat files that has all the
SOD stuff added, let me know a good spot to put it. I also have a complete
set of the maps (and a set modified to print properly on my Star printer
with 64 lines per page).

You may already be able to download the maps from ccu.umanitoba.ca in the
wolf3d directory. Have a look.
