It Will Allow You To Update The Current WAD, All WADs, Or All WADs Starting From Current WAD. It Isn't REQUIRED That You Run This On All Of Your Old WADs, But If You Want The "T" Flag, & The "Episode/Mission" Displays To Work, You Must. - Added "T" Flag: "Text File Exists".

Will Be Automatic For All New WADs Added) - DL Now Shows The WAD's Episode/Mission On The Second Screen Of Information.

(Miscellaneous Configuration Screen) - Adjusted Display To Allow For WADs Over 9,999k.

Allows You To Enter Any Additional Parameters You Want Passed, For Each Of The Game Types. - Added <ALT-U>.

Makes <F2> Unzip The Current WAD, Run the DEU WAD Editor On It, And Update The ZIP When Complete. - DL Now Disables The "Response File" When Playing With A Serial Connection.

(This Has Not Been Tested But, In Theory, Should Work.) Thanks To Grant D. Visser (grant@lonnet.co.za) For Help In This Area. (Note: Since TCPSETUP Does Not Support A Response File, DL Will Automatically Switch To The Command-Line Mode When Using This Option.) - Changed The Way Deleting A WAD Works. When You Press <DEL> On A WAD, You Will Now Be Asked If You Want To Delete It's Saved Games, Then You Will Be Asked If You Want To Delete The Actual .ZIP File Containing The WAD, Finally You Will Be Asked If You Want To Mark That Record For Deletion. This Is So You Can Remove The Saved Games And .ZIP File To Save Disk Space, While Retaining The WAD's Record In DL For Statistical Purposes. If You Mark A WAD For Deletion Through The "Group Functions Menu" Or The "Tagged WAD Functions" The Records Will Be Marked For Deletion, But The Saved Games And .ZIP Files Will Not Be Removed Until The Database Is Packed (<ALT-P). If The WAD Is Already Marked For Deletion, You Will Be Asked If You Wish To Restore It.
