************* Welcome to DAC, the DooM-Access-Center! *************
1. What is DAC?
DAC is a small and handy shell for all the fans of iD-SOFTWAREs powergames.
So DAC now supports DooM, DooM2, Ultimate DooM, DooM-Gold, Heretic
and Hexen.
2. DAC-Features
- zipped PWAD-Archives
- separately saved games for each PWAD (not for Hexen in the DAC-Demo
yet)
- analyse of PWADS, which levels are patched and automatically warp
to the first patched level for starting the game
- supports single-player- and (IPX-) network-player-mode
- several start-parameters (-loadgame, -skill, -nomonsters)
- view/edit/create description-file for each PWAD (using MS-DOS-EDIT)
- automatically zipping/unzipping of new PWADS and their TXT-files
- automatically information of date-last-played, existing TXT-file and
saved games in PWAD-database
3. Thanks
Many thanks to iD-Software for creating those phantastic Games! Even much
thanks to Hank Leukart and Matthew S. Fell for their DooM-Specs that make
it much easier understanding the princip of these WAD-based games!

By the way ... I can't give any warrenty for damages or lost data while using
DAC - but I spent about 12 weeks for testing DAC without any error or crash
on different systems.

further upcomming versions of DAC please send me your eMail.
