LMP v2.0 - A DOOM | DOOM2 Demo Conversion and Launcher Utility
**************************************************************

-------------
 NEW TO V2.0
-------------
 - Typing 'LMP20' at the command line displays a quick run down
   of the few command line options.

 - Addition of optional command line arguments to AUTOMATICALLY
   convert, load, and playback a demo, bypassing the menu.

 - PWAD files can now be specified at the command line.

 - The status area now includes a "Duration" section that will
   tell you the running time of the demo.

 - Changing the demo to the perspective of one of the other
   players (assuming that there are any) can be done by typing
   the first letter of any player's color from within LMP20.

 - Specifying a PWAD from within the program has been seperated
   from launching the demo, so that you can now specify the
   PWAD and still make changes to the demo before launching it.

 - There's now a menu item for including additional DOOM
   command line parameters, such as -TIMER and -DEVPARM.

 - Win95 drag 'n drop is supported, allowing you to drag an
   LMP file and PWAD file from the Explorer onto an LMP20 icon
   to automatically load (and convert) the demo into the game.
   Use the included LMP20b.BAT for this...

 - When launching an LMP file with a PWAD, LMP20 will pass a
   carriage return to DOOM(2), relieving you of the burden of
   having to hit <ENTER> when the game detects a modified
   level. Such a hassle, that was... <g>

 - If the demo is launched from the LMP20 menu, you will be
   taken back to the menu when the demo is done playing.

 - The program is more tolerant of fools. For example, you
   can no longer load your AUTOEXEC.BAT file into the program
   and convert it to the v1.666 format. Jeez... some people
   will try anything!

 - a few minor 'behind the sceens' changes as well as a couple
   of hidden features & args.
