Review                  : This tool converts levels from doom to doom2.
                          It's probably most interesting for people with
                          technical or historical interests and nostalgia
                          obsessions, like me :).
                          It has been created in 1994, so, if you use it,
                          you should maybe better try it only 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.

Description             : (Multi-Level Doom I to Doom II Converter)
                          Converts Single/Multi-Level 'DOOM I' PWADs
                          and changes all MAPs, MUSIC, WALL Textures,
                          and Graphic PATCHES quickly to 'DOOM II'.
                          (Req. DOOM II Reg. to use converted PWADs)

                          Now that DOOM II is out and you've finished that
                          last level, where's a vast universe of DOOM I
                          PWADs to explore (after all DOOM I's got a year
                          lead), to tantalize your imagination, and
                          generally enhance your enjoyment of DOOM II.

                          With the use of this program you can convert
                          these files in minutes into DOOM II PWADs, and
                          back again with the -R switch without any
                          knowledge of DOOM I and DOOM II differents.

                          [Note by the uploader:]
                          I haven't tested this much, but...:
                          To get a quick and rather good result, it seems
                          to be best, to place the stuff from this zip
                          together with the to be converted WAD in a doom2
                          -folder, then type 'dm1todm2', and then tell the
                          program the name of the wad, that you want to
                          convert. I write this, because typing
                          'dm1todm2 castle.wad' directly at the command
                          prompt, resulted for me with a doom2-wad, that
                          missed some textures.
                          Also keep in mind: Reading DM1TODM2.DOC and
                          understanding it completely is most definetely
                          a good idea! (My problem is usually, that i'm not
                          as patient, as i should be.)
                          You might need to do some additinal editig with a
                          level editor, to make the conversion result work
                          properly. Customizing DM1TODM2.DAT is also worthy
                          to recommend it.
