Description:	DOOMSAVER is freeware that animates id Software's Doom characters across your screen. It works only with the registered mail-order version of Doom. DOOMSAVER contains no bitmapped graphics data from Doom. It loads all graphics from the DOOM.WAD file already on your hard-drive. Although DOOMSAVER is not a terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program, you can run it manually to act as a "screen saver". WARNING: DOOMSAVER displays all the Doom beasts and static background art. This spoils the surprise if you haven't played through all the levels yet.

DOOMSAVER is freeware that animates id Software's Doom characters 
across your screen. It works only with the registered mail-order 
version of Doom.

DOOMSAVER contains no bitmapped graphics data from Doom. It loads all 
graphics from the DOOM.WAD file already on your hard-drive.

Although DOOMSAVER is not a terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program, you 
can run it manually to act as a "screen saver".

WARNING: DOOMSAVER displays all the Doom beasts and static background 
art. This spoils the surprise if you haven't played through all the 
levels yet.

DOOMSAVER requires 3 parameters.
1. full path to your DOOM.WAD file
2. delay per frame (milliseconds)
3. frames before loading new graphics

Example:
doomsavr c:\doom\doom.wad 80 110

You can disable the beasts or the background art by adding "nobeasts" or 
"nobackground" as an optional last parameter.

There is a pause each time new graphics are loaded from the WAD file.

Hit any key to exit from DOOMSAVER.

Tip: Write a one line batch file called SS.BAT (SS=screen saver, use 
another name if you want). The one line should look like the example 
above. Copy DOOMSAVR.EXE and SS.BAT somewhere in your path. Then simply 
enter "ss" at any command line to run DOOMSAVER. Use it when you want 
to leave your computer but don't want to turn it off.
