Review : This tool converts DooM and DooM2 wads to
Heretic.
It's probably most interesting for people with
technical or historical interests and nostalgia
obsessions, like me :).
It has been created in 1995, so, if you use it,
you should maybe better prefer to try it with
plain vanilla WADs. Of course, you can try it,
but don't expect perfect results from using this
on a nowadays wad, created for zdoom or other
source ports.

Primary purpose : No levels included

Description : Multi-Level DOOM I&II to Heretic Converter
Converts Single/Multi-Level 'DOOM' PWADs
and changes all MAPs, MUSIC, WALL Textures,
and Graphic PATCHES quickly to 'HERETIC'.
(* Requires HERETIC Registered *)
[Note by the uploader:]
This program does not run on Win32. But DosBox
works fine.
You might need to do some additinal editig with a
level editor, to make the conversion result work
properly. Customizing DM1TOHT1.DAT is most
definitely a good idea. Another very good idea is
to read and understand dm1toht1.doc completely.
