Author:	John Cole
Description:	A source modification of id Software's IPXSETUP that allows you to select the name of the game EXE the utility will run as well as what machine will use what player color. The first feature is quite useful for using DeHackEd modified EXEs on multi-player mode without having to rename the EXE to a standard name (either doom or doom2) and the second is useful for switching Player colors during DM or Coop, given the fact that the different Players "lag" differently. This utility was originally part of one of the CTFDoom distribution packages.
Credits:	id Software, Laura "Bahdko" Hermann for making me aware of this IPXSETUP mod. Check out her DOOM site: http://www.doom2.net/.
Base:	d on DOSDoom.
Build time:	?
Editor(s) used:	?

Archive Maintainer      : This file is quite useful for DM games using the
                          original EXEs and may be found here or there on
                          some DM-oriented DOOM sites but I thought it
                          would be more easily available if on the Archive
                          so here it is.  Uploaded by Miguel Folatelli (aka
                          myk helnyte, myk@helnyte.zzn.com.)
                          July 8th: I'm reuploading this to fix the file
                          name inconsistencies (in the text file) and to
                          give the utility a more attractive and sensible
                          name.

Primary purpose         : Cooperative and DeathMatch play
