Announce:Doom & Doom 2 Level Editor
James Knight
This is a _beta_ port of a _beta_ version of deu 5.3. Sound scary? It
should. Ok, the bad news first. The interface is NOT mac-like. This is
almost a direct port. It doesn't behave like a mac program should, and
doesn't use proper menus and windows. Any If you switch to another app,
it will not redraw itself. You need to switch editing modes, or exit the
top dialog box to get it to redraw. The menu titles don't work right.

Now the good news: IT WORKS. You can now make levels for Doom. (Save
often) As far as I know, this is the only WAD editor for the mac, so
think of this as a substitute for running Deu in SoftPC, instead of
pointing out how bad it looks.
Deu is actually a really good and advanced Doom editor. It is considered
the best for the IBM. Don't just judge it on its non-macishness. I'm
working on it, but I thought that people would like to have a working
editor now, as opposed to when it looks good.
You can find MacDeu at "http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/jknight/macdeu.html"
If you have any suggestions, feel free to send them my way.
