        Thanks for downloading my program. I hope you like it. I originally
designed it for loading in PWAD's. Then I started to build on it until I
ended up with v2.1.z.

Remember: kDOOM is not free. You have a 30 day trial period. After which
          you must delete kDOOM or register it by sending 25$ (please send 
          checks only) to:
                            Keith Tate
                            287 Bailey Creek Rd.
                            Soda Springs, ID 83276

Heres a list of what the buttons do:

Run DOOM Button:   Guess!
Run Setup Button:  Starts the DOOM setup program
Map Button:        Lets you specify what episode and level you want to start
                   on
Skill Button:      Lets you specify how tough you are.
Add PWAD Button:   Brings up a list of .WAD files to add (future versions of
                   kDOOM will let you specify multiple .WAD files)
Option button:     Brings up a window full of options.

This option list tells you what they do:

-Altdeath:    Starts Deathmatch v2.0
        -Config:      Uses an alternate configuration file
        -Deathmatch:  Starts DOOM in Deathmatch mode
        -Devparm:     Developers mode. This option is required for many other
                      other options to work, so it is initially left on.
                      Press F1 to take pictures when this option is on (saved
                      as DOOM??.PCX).
        -Fast:        Nitemare mode without respawning monsters
        -Left:        Sets up network terminal for left view.
        -Loadgame:    Starts DOOM in specified save game.
        -Net:         Starts NetDOOM with 1-4 players.
        -Nojoy:       Does not use joystick
        -Nomonsters:  Plays DOOM with no monsters
        -Nomouse:     Does not use mouse
        -Nomusic:     Does not play music
        -Nosfx:       Does not use sound effects
        -Nosound:     Does not play any sound at all
        -Playdemo:    Plays a .LMP (a demo) file in current directory
        -Record:      Records a demo to a .LMP file
        -Respawn:     Makes monsters come back to life in non-NITEMARE mode
        -Right:       Sets up a network terminal for left view
        -Turbo:       Specifies turbo Scale for marine

kDOOM must be in the same directory as DOOM.EXE or it will NOT run.

NOTE:   After I compiled my program I noticed the -PLAYDEMO option will not
        let you specify another directory. So I disabled the change drive and
        change directory boxes. You'll have to keep .LMP files in your DOOM 
        directory. And you have to -RECORD demos into the current directory.


ALSO NOTE:  If you like this program, and you want a startup module for
            DOOM II check out DOOMENU v2.0.  It is a program that was very
            closely modeled after kDOOM v2.1.z.  Or you can wait until I come
            out with a new version of kDOOM.  Things to look for in the next
            version of kDOOM are:  DOOM II support, the ability to add
            multiple .WAD's, a and way to save a default setup for kDOOM.
            
Enjoy...  >:-)
