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.
Update to : /utils/network/ctfipxsu.zip
Primary purpose : Cooperative and DeathMatch play

Title : CTFDoom's IPXSETUP utility
Filename : IPXDOOM.EXE
Release date : June 22nd, 2003 (uploaded)
July 8th, 2003 (renamed)
Author : John Cole
Email Address : jcole@eisa.net.au (might not work)
Other Files By Author : The CTFDdoom source mod
Misc. Author Info : John Cole coded the early CTFDoom DOOM source mod
based on DOSDoom.
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.
Additional Credits to : id Software, Laura "Bahdko" Hermann for making me
aware of this IPXSETUP mod. Check out her DOOM
site: http://www.doom2.net/.
