The Internet DOOM Client/Server System v0.12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]

     The DOOM* Client/Server System provides for a way for you to
  find oppponents for a game on the Internet. You use the client
  software to connect to a Frag Server. While connected to the
  server, you can chat with other players and bystanders and
  negotiate game parameters. You tell the server what parameters
  you want, and when all the players are ready, the server will
  give the client the decided game parameters plus the IP adresses
  of all your victims. The client software will disconnect from
  the server and then run a multi-player DOOM game (iDOOM* or
  linuxxdoom*).

---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Client:
    DOOM v1.666/2 Shareware/Registered DOS/Linux
    Network Card

    2. Compile by running 'make client'
    3. Copy client and client.cfg to your DOOM directory
    4. Modify client.cfg

  Server:

[Running]

  Client:
    First, make sure that you are able to play multi-player games using
  iDOOM. The TCP/IP Internet DOOMer's FAQ is included in the iDOOM
  package [iDOOMxx.ZIP].

    Make sure that you are in your DOOM directory when you do this. You
  connect to a server by typing:

    client

    The complete comandline parameter syntax is:

    client [-server <host>] [-port <portnum>] [-config <file>]

  where server is the hostname/IP address of your Server and portnum
  is the port number where The Server accepts connections. You may want
  to edit your client.cfg instead of using the commandline parameters.

    Once connected, "type /help" to get a list of the server commmands.
  If you want to exit, just type "/quit" or <CTRL>X.

	To check if there are players connected to a server, type
  "client -status" and it will give you the list of players and guests
  connected to the server. Use "client -guest" if you just want to
  observe and don't want to join the game.
