       TEMPORARY BUG FIX FOR WIN95. MOSTLY INCOMPLETE.


                       What is WinTex?

WinTex lets you customise your DOOM, HERETIC or HEXEN levels beyond
what is possible with level editors. It let you replace sounds,
musics, and monster sprites, and let you create new wall textures,
floors and ceilings. And it will collaborate with your level editor.

WinTex also lets you browse the .GRP files from DUKE NUKEM 3D.

Note:
WinTex 4.3 has very limited support for Quake. Visual Basic is close
to exhaustion when dealing with Quake...

                WinTex is a (low budget) Shareware

If you are using this program regularly, please register to help me find
the motivation necessary to make WinTex better and faster.
You need only register once for all future versions of WinTex 4.x.

                      Supported Games

WinTex 4.3 supports DOOM, DOOM2, Ultimate DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE.
Support for Duke Nukem 3D is limited to browsing GRP files.

                        Legal Stuff

DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE are trademarks of id software, inc.
WinTex comes with NO WARRANTY whatsoever. I will not accept any liability.
Use at your own risk. I did my best to avoid possible trouble, though.


WinTex can be freely distributed on INTERNET, PRODIGY, COMPUSERVE, AOL,
and even on MSN.

                     Installation of WinTex
               (see the help file for details)

You need VBRUN300.DLL, because this is partly a Visual Basic tool.
VBRUN300.DLL should be put in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

Create a WINTEX directory somewhere and put there the following files:
 WINTEX.EXE            WinTex executable (Visual Basic)
 LBWINTEX.DLL          WinTex executable (C)
 DEUSF.EXE             DeuSF, DOS complement to WinTex
 DEUSF.PIF

Then click on WINTEX.EXE and it should run fine.
See the help file for the customisation of WinTex.

It is recommended that you also get the following tools:
RMB21.ZIP      RMB             reject map builder
WARM15.ZIP     Warm            reject, node, blockmap builder
WINDEU24.ZIP   WinDEU          windows level editor, good bsp builder.
TED12.ZIP      TED             end screen editor.
CLEANWAD.ZIP   CleanWAD        WAD file cleaner.

               The Bug list, and bug corrections

Version 4.3 fixes some bugs of version 4.2:
- Sound crash under win95 (music crash is still possible. can't rebuild it)
- strife support (sort of).
- Can select the name of the main WAD
- copy/paste levels, rename entry,
- various other stuff I totally forgot to write down.


Known Troubles:
- DCK works fine with WinTex textures, except that it cannot display
 them properly (it's bug in DCK, WinTex will not compensate it).
