                         DeHackEd is a tool, that changes the way, how the
                         DooM executable works, that means, how the game
                         DooM behaves. This package contains all the
                         outdated versions of the tool.
                         The latest version of DeHackEd by Greg Lewis,
                         that is v3.0a, can be found in the /idgames -ftp
                         -archives (see current list of mirrors at the end
                         of this file) here: utils/exe_edit/dhe30a.zip
                         DeHackEd v3.1 is able to work with Final DOOM.
                         That update has been done by John A. Kaczmarski
                         Jr. ([email protected] or [email protected]).
                         It is avaiable in the /idgames-archives here:
                         utils/exe_edit/dhe31.zip
                         Although the newer versions have good downwards
                         compatibility to older deh-patches, there are
                         still sometimes one or two problems, when you try
                         to use very old dehacked-patches with the latest
                         versions of Dehacked (3.0a/3.1) and DooM(I and II
                         v. 1.9). Because of that, you should import any
                         antique deh-patch into the doom.exe-version, for
                         that it has been created. Use for this action the
                         dehacked version, that has been used to create
                         the deh-patch. Then export the changes from the
                         modified DooM.exe by using a newer version of
                         DeHackEd, that is able to create patches, that
                         are compatible with newer versions of DooM and
                         Dehacked.
                         It is important to know, that only dehacked 2.3
                         and 2.4 support DooM versions from 1.2 to 1.9.
                         Since DeHackEd v.3.0, only DooM versions from
                         1.666 upwards are supported.
                         Old deh-patches require often older versions of
                         the doom(2).exe, to work properly. Start with
                         downgrading DooM with /utils/exe_edit/downgrd.zip
                         from Ultimate Doom v1.9 to Doom v1.1
                         And doom2.exe with /utils/exe_edit/dm2dwngr.zip
                         from 1.9 to 1.666. (The file locations are from
                         the /idgames archives, see list of current
                         mirrors below). Upgrade from those low versions
                         to the required version by using the official
                         patches.
