Anonymous	As much as I love Wintex, i think 4.3 is better. The Graphic entry list is much longer on 4.3 than on this version. Also, this version still suffers from the limitations of the original - Not being able to replace graphics larger than 320x255 or make textures taller than 128 in height.	x
Anonymous	How about a win32 recompilation + support for long filenames? Otherwise, still one of the best lump editors out there, superior even to XWE in some respects. 5/5 -Maes	x
Anonymous	"Put the vbrun300dll in ur wintex directory -compwhiz128" - you can find it via google. It's easy. Just type "downlad vbrun300.dll" and search for one -N	x

your map). 
Refer to your 'Readme.Txt' file (inside your game

   New WinTex 4.6 improvements
        by Javier Almenara

This version has a new check option. The Test 
Deathmatch option that allows you to specify a single
Deathmatch game, which is very useful for developers, 
to test their start points at Deathmatch encounters.
Also it is included the original .INI file for any 
purpose (check your files positions before using it).

directory.

   New WinTex 4.7 improvements
        by Javier Almenara

A Real FrontEnd.
General support for the Play Game procedure.
Now this version of WinTex generates its own 
Response File (WTXPARAM) in every session and in 
every game.
Includes support for Strife Game (your executable
file and iWAD file should have a name like:
strife1.*)
Includes a new check option. The Full Silence
option that allows to silence the whole game.
This is very useful for those people that like
to work at midnight... enjoy this option :)
Now you can enter your desired parameters to the
game without any restriction.
Fixed any bugs that were present on the previous
versions.
Includes a new Filer command button in the main screen,
that allows to invoke a Windows filer.
Includes a new message add on screen that indicates 
what you can do to delete those unwanted files.
Fixed an error that allows the Edit PWAD button to 
edit a blank pWAD.
Status: Complete.
To use the program, just copy it to your WinTex 
directory.

   New WinTex 4.8 improvements
        by Javier Almenara

Upgrade to version. Now this is v4.8 (v4.9 see below...)
General revision and support for the new and old 
improvements of WinTex.
All the screens of WinTex has been centered. Considering 
an 800x600 resolution.
Changed some parameters to adapt the program to the new
Windows versions.
New option that allows to select "ZETH" as the Map
Editor.
Found bug in the Level section that avoid the user to 
add a new (or different) editor utility. Fixed.
Modified the code in the Level section to make the control 
of the program more flexible.
New option that allows to select "ZenNode" as the Nodes & 
Blocks generator.
Likewise, a new option that allows to select "ZenNode" as 
the Reject data builder.
Found bug in the Nodes & Blocks section that avoid the user 
to add a new (or different) nodes utility. Fixed.
Found bug in the Reject table section that avoid the user to 
add a new (or different) reject utility. Fixed.
Modified the code in the Reject table section that prevents 
to select correctly the "Reject.Exe" file. By default, always 
was displayed a window that asks for the name of an executable
program. Fixed.
Changed the procedure that generates the response file: "WTXPARAM".
Now it allows to generate the file and to place one parameter 
per line.
(Thanks to Ty Halderman for his support at this point)
Lots of tests were done with the editors that WinTex can handle.
Likewise, some modifications were done to the "WinTex.ini" file
(through the WinTex program) to outbid the load of the programs.
Added opportune messages, to orient the user when defining his
level editors by the first time.
Found bug that allows WinTex to delete a Wad file when exiting 
from the "Advanced/Edit Levels" menu. Fixed.
Now WinTex only eliminates the temporary files when the "Play Game" 
option is used. By default the work directory for WinTex is "C:\>"
Found bug when entering the "Advanced/Edit Levels/Help - Zoom" 
option that shows an incorrect message for the use of the mouse
buttons. Fixed.
It is highly laudable to check the "Appendix.txt" file for more
references about the editors, nodes and reject files used by WinTex.
Additionally it is attach the "Author.exe" file that is an Electronic
Presentation Card module from the author of the WinTex improvements.
Status: Complete.
Other : The New WinTex (v4.8) is really, your best choice. Enjoy! :)
I think this version is also valid for WinTex v4.9 so,
Future: WinTex v5.0 with new features and enhancements. 
	Just wait for news!
To use the program, just copy it to your WinTex directory.

   New WinTex 5.0 improvements
        by Javier Almenara

Upgrade to version. Now this is v5.0, Final Official Version.
This is a Deluxe Version of WinTex with some very interesting features.
These ones are in the principal screen of WinTex as follows:
(*)Added a new section - WAD Utilities. You will find it at:
File\WAD Utilities
Now you have some powerful utilities to perform your tasks with WinTex
in a very professional way! There are "four" new tools here:
The first three utilities (WADHex,WADList,WADSpy) will generate a report 
("C:\Output.Txt") which you can view automatically using the Edit 
Output.Txt option.
The WADMirror utility will generate a copy of your original WAD file named
"C:\Mirror.Wad" which will contain the new converted map.
A plus, the User Utility that allow you to use your own tools and apply
them to the WAD files of your desire.
There is also an Edit Output.txt option to edit the results of some of 
the WAD Utilities (listed above).
Please read below for more information about the Auxiliary Executable 
Files that WinTex will handle for the WAD Utilities option.
(*)Added a DOS shell option. You will find it at:
File\DOS Shell
This is useful for those users who need a quick shell to the DOS prompt.
(*)Optimize the Quit option of the program. Now WinTex will ask the user, 
if he(she) is really sure of exiting the program.
(...but who will like to abort such a good program man!? ;)
(*)Added a new WinTex Intro Logo option. You will find it at:
Options\WinTex Intro Logo
This is an executable file that will do a presentation of WinTex... also 
with an appropiate music to fit like a background :)
(*)Added a new section - WinTex Screen Protector. You will find it at:
Options\WinTex Screen Protector
This will load the WinTex Screen Saver System which will enable 
"eight" different modes of Screen Saver!
It will be a good idea to have the Tutorial mode of the program set to "on"
to view a brief description of the new WinTex options.
You will find this at:
Help\Tutorial mode
Credits and thanks also go to the people at:
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/
they know why...
Jeff Richards - for redirect help 
Jo, Danin, Ron Badour - for change icon help
The "Lbwintex.dll" file has been included in the zip file for those
users who lack of this important file.
It is highly laudable to check the "Appendix.txt" file for more
references about the Auxiliary Executable Files used by WinTex v5.0
...please read the "WinTex_URP.doc" file for some important information :)
Additionally it is attach the "AboutMe.exe" file that is an Electronic
Presentation Card module from the author of the WinTex improvements.
A presentation of DooR To HeLL my WEB Page is also included here; you
will find an .htm document and a .swf (flash file) movie.
If you don't have the Flash Player, you can find it at:
http://macromedia.com/go/getflashplayerbutton/
Status: Complete.
Other : The New WinTex (v5.0) is really, your best choice. Enjoy! :)
Future: WinTex v5.x with new features and enhancements.
