Note                    : HACX was originally a commercial add-on for
                         DooM II, that has been later changed into
                         freeware.
                         The freeware HACX has been published within
                         hacx1_1s.zip (the release with DOS-installation)
                         and also within hx11pack.zip (files only without
                         installation routine). The game executable in the
                         files only release is for some reason different
                         from that one, that results from the installation
                         of the files from hacx1_1s.zip. That difference
                         makes recorded demos incompatible with demos,
                         that have been recorded with the game executable
                         from the other package. Read the file
                         descriptions below for a solution.

Files Included          : # Official Files of the files only package #
                         DHSERSET.EXE - Multiplayer Setup
                         EDITING.TXT - Basic statistics and information
                                    for add-on designers
                         HACX.BIN, .DAT, .EXE, .WAD - Game files and
                                    programs

                         HACX.DEH - A dehacked patch, that contains the
                                    differences between the DHACX.EXE,
                                    that is created by the installation
                                    package (hacx1_1s.zip) and a
                                    normal doom(2).exe v. 1.9.
                                    If you want to play HACX with a
                                    doom-source-port, you have to use this
                                    deh-file in the -deh parameter, in
                                    order to play the game in the intended
                                    way.
                                    Users of source ports, that can
                                    playback vanilla-demos, should use
                                    this HACX.DEH in the -deh -parameter
                                    in order to watch either the internal
                                    demos of HACX.WAD or user-recorded
                                    demo-lmps, recorded with the DHACX.EXE
                                    from the installation-version. Users
                                    of vanilla-compatible operating
                                    systems can of course also use
                                    dehacked, in order to patch their
                                    vanilla doom2.exe with this HACX.deh.
                                    The result will be an executable, that
                                    acts like the DHACX.EXE, created with
                                    the installation package (hacx1_1s.zip).
                         LEGAL_R.TXT - Limited Use Software License
                                    Agreement [Not up-to-date: See the
                                    section 'Copyright / Permissions' in
                                    this template.]
                         READMEP.TXT - All the information about this
                                     package.
                         DHACX.EXE - The source executable
                                    You can run this from the command line
                                    by using the following command:
                                    dhacx -file hacx.wad
                                    DHACX.EXE takes the same parameters as
                                    the normal doom2 executable.
                                    Because this is for some reason not
                                    identical with the DHACX.EXE from the
                                    installation version, it cannot
                                    correctly playback demos, that have
                                    been recorded with that
                                    version (including those within
                                    HACX.WAD).
                         # Files that are added in this /idgames -upload #
                         HACX_F.DEH (along with hacx_f.txt) - dehacked
                                     patch, extracted by Grazza from the
                                     dhacx.exe in this files-only package.
                                     If a user of a non-vanilla compatible
                                     operating system wishes to watch
                                     demo-lmps, that have been recorded
                                     with the files-only distribution of
                                     HACX, he has to run them with a
                                     source-port, that is able to playback
                                     vanilla demos, with this dehacked
                                     patch in the -deh parameter.
                         hx11pack.txt - This template. Contains amoung
                                     other info the latest legal info.
