                          The story is set in the near future and you will
                          find yourself engrossed in a international
                          blastfest. Combating weapons of mass destruction!

This files only release doesn't need an
                          installation to be playable.

* What is included *

New levels              : 21
Sounds                  : Yes
Music                   : Yes
Graphics                : Yes
Dehacked/BEX Patch      : Yes (HACX.DEH and HACX_F.DEH, see below)
Demos                   : Yes

Note                    : HACX was originally a commercial add-on for
                          DooM II, that has been later changed into
                          freeware.
                          The freeware HACX has been published within
                          hacx1_1s.zip (the release with DOS-installation)
                          and also within hx11pack.zip (files only without
                          installation routine). The game executable in the
                          files only release is for some reason different
                          from that one, that results from the installation
                          of the files from hacx1_1s.zip. That difference
                          makes recorded demos incompatible with demos,
                          that have been recorded with the game executable
                          from the other package. Read the file
                          descriptions below for a solution.

Files Included          : # Official Files of the files only package #
                          DHSERSET.EXE - Multiplayer Setup
                          EDITING.TXT - Basic statistics and information
                                     for add-on designers
                          HACX.BIN, .DAT, .EXE, .WAD - Game files and
                                     programs
                                     
                          HACX.DEH - A dehacked patch, that contains the
                                     differences between the DHACX.EXE, 
                                     that is created by the installation 
                                     package (hacx1_1s.zip) and a
                                     normal doom(2).exe v. 1.9.
                                     If you want to play HACX with a 
                                     doom-source-port, you have to use this
                                     deh-file in the -deh parameter, in 
                                     order to play the game in the intended
                                     way.
                                     Users of source ports, that can 
                                     playback vanilla-demos, should use 
                                     this HACX.DEH in the -deh -parameter 
                                     in order to watch either the internal
                                     demos of HACX.WAD or user-recorded
                                     demo-lmps, recorded with the DHACX.EXE
                                     from the installation-version. Users 
                                     of vanilla-compatible operating 
                                     systems can of course also use 
                                     dehacked, in order to patch their 
                                     vanilla doom2.exe with this HACX.deh. 
                                     The result will be an executable, that
                                     acts like the DHACX.EXE, created with 
                                     the installation package (hacx1_1s.zip).

                          READMEP.TXT - All the information about this

                          DHACX.EXE - The source executable
                                     You can run this from the command line
                                     by using the following command:
                                     dhacx -file hacx.wad
                                     DHACX.EXE takes the same parameters as
                                     the normal doom2 executable.
                                     Because this is for some reason not
                                     identical with the DHACX.EXE from the
                                     installation version, it cannot
                                     correctly playback demos, that have
                                     been recorded with that
                                     version (including those within
                                     HACX.WAD).

                          HACX_F.DEH (along with hacx_f.txt) - dehacked
                                      patch, extracted by Grazza from the
                                      dhacx.exe in this files-only package.
                                      If a user of a non-vanilla compatible
                                      operating system wishes to watch
                                      demo-lmps, that have been recorded
                                      with the files-only distribution of
                                      HACX, he has to run them with a
                                      source-port, that is able to playback
                                      vanilla demos, with this dehacked
                                      patch in the -deh parameter.
