WELCOME TO WDFUSE !
===================

WDFUSE (Windows Dark Forces UtilitieS and Editor) is a collection of tools to 
design levels for LucasArts Entertainment Company hit game : DARK FORCES.

It is a complete Windows port of DFUSE/DOS, with many corrections and improvements.
Included in the package is the 1.90 version of the "DARK FORCES Unofficial Specifications".


WARNING  
=======

Contrary to DFUSE/DOS, WDFUSE is SHAREWARE.
Its registration fee is a $25 ALL CHARGES PAID International Order.
You may email me for other possible arrangements at Yves.Borckmans@ping.be

The unregistred version is severely limited in the size of the level it can save,
so if you have no intention at all of registering, don't waste your connect time
downloading this (huge) utility.

Registered users gain full save capabilities and email support.
They will also be able to use the forthcoming WAD converter. 
(ok, I've said it, so now I just HAVE to write it :-) )


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO RUN WDFUSE ?
================================

Minimum :
 - a computer able to run Windows 3.1 or Windows 95:
 - 8 Mb of RAM (to run Dark Forces !)
 - a mouse
 - 640*480*256 resolution

Recommanded :
 - 486/66 or higher
 - more than 8 Mb RAM to run WDFUSE AND Dark Forces under Windows 95
 - 800*600*256 resolution or higher

A VOC -> WAV converter is also supported, but it is far from mandatory.


COMPATIBILITY
=============

The programs run correctly under Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. 
Although I didn't test them, they may also run under Windows NT, 
OS/2 Warp and SoftWindows on a Mac (feedback, please).


INSTALLATION 
============

 1) Create a directory for WDFUSE (say C:\WDFUSE)
 2) Copy WDFUS100.EXE in it
 3) Extract by typing "WDFUS100 -d"
 4) in Windows, double click WDFUSE.EXE

Notes : 
 1) Some sites don't accept auto-extract files, and WDFUSE should be named 
    WDFUS100.ZIP in this case. Replace step 3 with "PKUNZIP -d WDFUSE100.ZIP"
    Notice that you need PKUNZIP.EXE or an equivalent program.
 2) You may also use WinZip or other 'Zip managers', but make them unzip
    WITH the subdirectories.


VERSION NOTES
=============

The files WDFUS100.txt and readme.txt are exactly the same. One or both exist
because different sites have different file names and packaging conventions.
