Features
========
Alrighty, what you've all been waiting for.. A doom editor! Of course, this
thing can't edit everything.. In fact, all it can edit is the items laying
around. But you can do lots of things with those items such as:
1. move them around; place the boss guy right in front of the entrance!
2. change items; change that BFG 9000 into a big brain.
3. Insert and Delete items; Put as many things as you want on a level!
4. change angle; make those rifle guys ambush!
5. save it all to your .wad file WITHOUT rewriting the WHOLE thing!
6. Save and Load to individual .DTE files (very small.. Perfect for modem
transmission and making backups of your .wad)

an item.

Known bug:
I believe most microsoft mice using the MICROSOFT DRIVER WILL NOT WORK!!
maybe if you changed the driver, it may. most likely, any type of driver made
by microsoft to work with the mouse will not work, no matter what version. It
will, however, work with mice that are microsoft compatible using there own
driver. Microsoft mouse users may wish to download maybe another companies
driver that are microsoft compatible.. hope that's clear.. :)
