So i asked Gibbon:

Oh, wow! I remember those! These will surely come in handy for anyone on Windows 64-bit.

 

Good job, Gibbon.

Update:

To concide with this, a page for Boom Editing Utilities is now on DoomWiki.

 

Jim's legacy now carries on into the modern age.

Is there a chance to do the same for CLED ..?

According to the text file in the boom utility source package:

 

The sources for CLED, MUSPUT, and STAT will be made available at a
future date along with the sources for the PATCHER wad builder
utility, as they are sub-programs of it.

 

No idea if Jim released any of the sources for these.  I cannot find them on idgames or on the net.

[CoolerDoomeR]

This will be released for 32-bit os?

I can try and compile it on MSVC for 32bit but my MinGW toolchain is 100% 64bit with no multilib support.

Okay thanks!

On Jim Flynn's own page the source for Patcher is also listed. Quick look inside reveals what appears to be CLED source code files.
