** Hexen BEHAVIOR De-compiler **
                               v0.50

DESCRIPTION:

   Ever wondered how all of those special effects work in Hexen?  This
program allows you to look at any of the BEHAVIORS in a Hexen .WAD file to
see how it all works.

   This version simply dumps the contents of the BEHAVIOR structure in a
format that is fairly close to the original ACS script source code.  With
some manual editing, it can be recompiled and put into your .WAD file.


FUTURE PLANS:

   Accept raw BEHAVIOR lump files in addition to those embedded in the
    .WAD file.
   Complete source code recovery - ie: the output can be fed directly
    into the ACC.EXE compiler without any manual editing.
    - Support the standard .acs files for constants & definitions
    - Customization file to allow you to assign names to variables
   Interpret arguments to functions and display compile-time #defines
    instead ( ie: 0 => SKILL_VERY_EASY, 5 => T_FIREGARGOYLE, ... )
   Re-compile back to raw BEHAVIOR format ( without ACC.EXE ).


REQUIREMENTS:

  1) A supported operating:
     a) OS/2 2.0 or higher
     b) DOS ( v?.?? or higher - tested with 5.0 & 6.22 )
     c) a Win32 platform ( Windows NT or Windows 9x )
  2) A Hexen .WAD file
