Note by the uploader    : This package of old versions is not supported by
                          the author. It's upped because of compatibility
                          issues and nostalgia.
Description             : Old versions of DeHackEd:

                          DeHackEd is a tool, that changes the way, how the
                          DooM executable works, that means, how the game
                          DooM behaves. This package contains all the
                          outdated versions of the tool.
                          The latest version of DeHackEd by Greg Lewis,
                          that is v3.0a, can be found in the /idgames -ftp
                          -archives (see current list of mirrors at the end
                          of this file) here: utils/exe_edit/dhe30a.zip
                          DeHackEd v3.1 is able to work with Final DOOM.
                          That update has been done by John A. Kaczmarski
                          Jr. (74017.3225@compuserve.com or jkacz@en.com).
                          It is avaiable in the /idgames-archives here:
                          utils/exe_edit/dhe31.zip
                          Although the newer versions have good downwards
                          compatibility to older deh-patches, there are
                          still sometimes one or two problems, when you try
                          to use very old dehacked-patches with the latest
                          versions of Dehacked (3.0a/3.1) and DooM(I and II
                          v. 1.9). Because of that, you should import any
                          antique deh-patch into the doom.exe-version, for
                          that it has been created. Use for this action the
                          dehacked version, that has been used to create
                          the deh-patch. Then export the changes from the
                          modified DooM.exe by using a newer version of
                          DeHackEd, that is able to create patches, that
                          are compatible with newer versions of DooM and
                          Dehacked.
                          It is important to know, that only dehacked 2.3
                          and 2.4 support DooM versions from 1.2 to 1.9.
                          Since DeHackEd v.3.0, only DooM versions from
                          1.666 upwards are supported.
                          Old deh-patches require often older versions of
                          the doom(2).exe, to work properly. Start with
                          downgrading DooM with /utils/exe_edit/downgrd.zip
                          from Ultimate Doom v1.9 to Doom v1.1
                          And doom2.exe with /utils/exe_edit/dm2dwngr.zip
                          from 1.9 to 1.666. (The file locations are from
                          the /idgames archives, see list of current
                          mirrors below). Upgrade from those low versions
                          to the required version by using the official
                          patches.
