Description             : HACX is an action filled add-on for DooM II.
                          The story is set in the near future and you will
                          find yourself engrossed in a international
                          blastfest. Combating weapons of mass destruction!
                          
                          This package (hacx1_1s.zip) uses a DOS 
                          installation procedure. Users of operating 
                          systems, that are not DOS -compatible, for 
                          example Mac or Linux, should first give the files
                          -only package (hx11pack.zip) a try.

* 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 
                          DHACX.EXE 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 and vice versa.

                          the installation in your DooM II -directory. 
                          However, even these are a little bit out of date.
                          The latest legal/distribution rights info can be

                          HACX.DEH - A dehacked patch, that contains the
                                     differences between the DHACX.EXE, 
                                     that is created by this 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 that 
                                     DHACX.EXE ;).

                                     You can run this from the command line
                                     by using the following command:

                                     DHACX.EXE takes the same parameters as

                                     been recorded with that version.

                                      dhacx.exe in the 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.
