DMMUI v1.0
                          DooMMusic User Interface
                              Written By Pooka

What It Is :   DMMUI is a front end for DMMUSIC.EXE, a program which 
               allows you insert your own musical scores into DOOM.
               I've included DMMUSIC v1.0 and MIDI2MUS in the Zipfile, 
               so you don't have to go looking for them. Hopefully their 
               authors won't mind :)

Installation :    1. UnZIP the files into the directory which contains
                     your .MUS files.

2. Make sure that DMMUSIC.EXE is ALSO in that same
                     directory (the one you just put DMMUI into). It
                     should be included in the Zipfile, but if it's not
                     (or you have a better version of DMMUSIC you wish to
                     use), copy your DMMUSIC.EXE into the directory with
                     DMMUI. Whether or not DMMUI will be compatible with
                     future versions of DMMUSIC I don't know. I tested
                     DMMUI with DMMUSIC v1.0, so anything later than that
                     is not guaranteed to work.

3. Edit the DMMUI.INI file and change the directory to
                     where your DOOM.WAD file is located.

4. Run DMMUI!

Execution :     When you run DMMUI, the first screen will give you a list
              of the .MUS files in the directory. Highlight one and press
              Enter. If there are "More", press F1 for the next page.
                
                Next, you will be given a list of missions. Pick one.
              
                After that, you will be asked to confirm your choices. If
              you messed up, you can select 'N' and start over. If you
              are pleased with your choices, press 'Y'.
              
                DMMUI will then ask you for the name of the PWAD file 
              you wish to create. If you enter a filename (whatever.wad), 
              DMMUSIC will create a PWAD of the mission you selected, but
              with new music. If you enter '*', DMMUSIC will CHANGE THE
              MUSIC IN YOUR DOOM.WAD FILE. If you don't want this, make
              sure to enter a filename.

That's it! The PWAD file will be in you DMMUI directory,
              ready for play! Or if you didn't enter a PWAD filename, your
              DOOM.WAD file will have new music. To play the PWAD, go to
              your DOOM directory and type 'DOOM -FILE <path>\NEWMUSIC.WAD'.

Limitations :   If you want to make lots of PWADs, you'll have to run
                DMMUI again. I don't know how to make BorlandC++ return
                from an EXECL call. If you know how, please send me some
                email and I'll update DMMUI (and give proper credit! yay!).

Epilogue :   This program was coded very quickly without much attention 
             paid to efficiency or style. Actually, if you need this 
             program, then you're really lazy, because DMMUSIC really 
             isn't very hard to use. I could only see this program being 
             handy if you have LOTS of PWADs to make, or have LOTS
             of .MUS files you want to wade through. But, if you like it
             and have a use for it, I'm glad. If not, DEL DMMUI.EXE.

If you have any problems, questions, flames, suggestions, 
           or know how to return from an EXECL call, please feel free 
           to send email to pooka@netcom.com. Thanks. Enjoy!
