	TEMPORARY BUG FIX FOR WIN95. MOSTLY INCOMPLETE.


			What is WinTex?

 WinTex lets you customise your DOOM, HERETIC or HEXEN levels beyond
 what is possible with level editors. It let you replace sounds, 
 musics, and monster sprites, and let you create new wall textures, 
 floors and ceilings. And it will collaborate with your level editor.

 WinTex also lets you browse the .GRP files from DUKE NUKEM 3D.

 Note:
 WinTex 4.3 has very limited support for Quake. Visual Basic is close
 to exhaustion when dealing with Quake...
	
		 WinTex is a (low budget) Shareware

 If you are using this program regularly, please register to help me find
 the motivation necessary to make WinTex better and faster.
 You need only register once for all future versions of WinTex 4.x.

 	               Supported Games

 WinTex 4.3 supports DOOM, DOOM2, Ultimate DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE.
 Support for Duke Nukem 3D is limited to browsing GRP files.

                      Installation of WinTex
		(see the help file for details) 
 
 You need VBRUN300.DLL, because this is partly a Visual Basic tool.
 VBRUN300.DLL should be put in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

 Create a WINTEX directory somewhere and put there the following files:
  WINTEX.EXE		WinTex executable (Visual Basic)
  LBWINTEX.DLL		WinTex executable (C)
  DEUSF.EXE		DeuSF, DOS complement to WinTex
  DEUSF.PIF

 Then click on WINTEX.EXE and it should run fine.
 See the help file for the customisation of WinTex.

 It is recommended that you also get the following tools:
 RMB21.ZIP	RMB		reject map builder
 WARM15.ZIP	Warm		reject, node, blockmap builder
 WINDEU24.ZIP	WinDEU		windows level editor, good bsp builder.
 TED12.ZIP	TED		end screen editor.
 CLEANWAD.ZIP	CleanWAD	WAD file cleaner.

		The Bug list, and bug corrections
	
 Version 4.3 fixes some bugs of version 4.2:
 - Sound crash under win95 (music crash is still possible. can't rebuild it)
 - strife support (sort of).
 - Can select the name of the main WAD
 - copy/paste levels, rename entry, 
 - various other stuff I totally forgot to write down.
 

 Known Troubles:
 - DCK works fine with WinTex textures, except that it cannot display
  them properly (it's bug in DCK, WinTex will not compensate it).
