Sorry, but I've removed the file from that location, I am currently
setting up a large repository of Doom files on one of my machines
so that those who don't have access to FTP can still get everything.
The location of this is:
SHUVVA::DKB0:[DOOM]
There are a variety of subdirectories already in place and hopefully
I will be able to keep all of the files up to date. Should there be
anything that people find missing or corrupted then please contact me
on the address above.
Enjoy,
-John.

| Hiya,
SHUVVA is going to be rebooted shortly, as I'm doing some work on it,
if you are copying wads and stuff be prepared to loose you connection.
I'll reply here when It's stable again.

SHUVVA is now officially dead, no more, drawn its last breath etc.
However in the true DOOMing spirit, namely theres nothing to stop an
evil looking dude wielding a BFG9k I've restored the backup to another
machine until we get a propper home. The path is.
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM] and its subdirectories.
FYI FLYTEs DECNET address is 44.852

| Dan;
I pulled the files you listed in .9 and the .txt said

I was looking for the Shareware version 1.66.
A further point would be greatly appreciated.

| By typing the following you can recursivly search all sub-directories
for a given filename. So if you want to find a 1.666 patch you would be
best off typing (note the use of 3 '.' after DOOM) :
$ DIR FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM...]*166*.*
Directory FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]
DM1666RP.TXT;1 DM1666RP.ZIP;1 DM1666SP.TXT;1
DM1666SP.ZIP;1
DM1666SW.TXT;1 DM1666SW.ZIP;1 DM1666_A.TXT;2
DM1666_A.ZIP;1
DM1666_B.TXT;1 DM1666_B.ZIP;1
Total of 10 files.
You can then copy the patch over as in .9. One patch is for shareware
versions, the other is for registered, and so on.... have fun!

This is the first time I have tried this so bear with me. I copied
DM1666SP.ZIP over to my machine, copied it to a floppy and ran PKUNZIP
against it. I get an error message for each file in the zip save set.
The message is:

| Hmmm I've had this before but can't for the life of me remember what the
problem is.....
It's either PKUNZIP doesn't know where you want the files put (doubtful)
or else it's a corrupt .ZIP file.
I think last time I got this, it was the latter problem, and next time
around it worked okay.
Hmmmmm.

| Any of you copying .TXT files from FLYTE to a VMS machine and trying
to view or print them may have found problems because some of the files
were in some sort of Ultrix format.
Hopefully this is all fixed now, files should be formatted correctly.

It's not Ultrix format, copy it to DOS, and you you will find it
look normally. :^) If you insist to view the file under VMS. I had
wrote small programs which convert different text format. Send me mail
if you need it.

|
| 4.22 | | FORTY2::HOWELL | Just get to the point... | Fri Sep 30 1994 10:44 | 7 |
| Hmm, I found viewing them in DOS by the command TYPE wasn't any good,
though admittedly using EDIT to view them solved the problem. Since my
printer at home is pretty naff I thought it might be a good idea to
convert all the text files.... this doesn't pose a problem I hope?

| 4.23 | Dumb Novice Question | 56815::CIACCIO | | Fri Oct 21 1994 17:44 | 9 |
| I am a complete novice and I would like to get started playing Doom.
I looked at FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM] and saw that there were about
250K blocks of files out. I will not and do not want to copy all of
this to my system. What do I need to copy to get an intro to this
game?

| > I am a complete novice and I would like to get started playing Doom.
> What do I need to copy to get an intro to this game?
For the latest shareware version in file lengths that can be put onto
floppies, copy these files:
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666_A.ZIP;1
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666_B.ZIP;1
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666_A.TXT;3
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666_B.TXT;2
If you can handle big files, copy just these two instead:
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666SW.TXT;2
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666SW.ZIP;1
Use PKUNZIP version 2.04g (the most recent) to unzip the files into a
directory on your hard disk. Then I believe you need to read the readme
file(s) for instructions on how to install/configure.
NOTE: this version of Doom is the shareware version and will *NOT* allow you
to play 'pwads,' which are user-created levels (different from the regular
Doom levels). Some pwads such as ALIENS-TC and STARWARS are 'conversions' of
the Doom game to something more like the Aliens and Star Wars movies. IMO,
the level of creativity found in the pwads is more than enough reason to call
1-800-idgames and shell out the $40 for the registrered version (or purchase
it used from someone).
DOOM II is not backwards compatible with Doom (I) pwads. Presumably, sometime
real soon now the folks out on the internet will create editors for Doom II
pwads, but a vast number of excellent pwads for Doom (I) will probably never
get 'ported' to Doom II. But ... to quote Id Software ... "then again, I
could be lying."

| Okay, new directory :-
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.WADS.DEATHMATCH]
:-)
Incidentely (most of you ftp'ers will know this already) there's a new
doom ftp site instead of good old .indiana
It's address is
[email protected]
/pub/doom as usual.
On the subject of WAD's, there really is starting to be a lot out there
so rather than clutter up flyte (which has most of 'em on but I can't
guarantee everything!) just request a WAD and I'll see if I can get it
up onto FLYTE for you. How's that?
Cheers,

FWIW...
According to the real DEU author, this is not an official DEU product.
Someone hacked an earlier version of DEU to make it support Doom II, and
didn't honor the DEU_Author's request to rename the hacked_DEU to somehting
else. But hey, if it works...
According to the same post, DEU 5.3 will be the next DEU to be released with a
new UI and full Doom II support ... so sez the 'official' DEU author.

| For quite awhile now I have been trying to figure out a way to download
files to my computer at home .So far no luck ,but I was wondering if
anyone out there knew how I could.
Sincerely,

| I'm a little confused. What do you mean?
1 ftp.orst.edu ----------> Your PC at home
2 flyte:: ----------> Your PC at home
3 ftp.orst.edu --> machine at work --> disks --> Your PC at home
4 flyte:: ---> machine at work --> disks --> Your PC at home
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
1. Well you'll need a modem and an account of some sort of ftp server,
I imagine. CompuServe, maybe?
2. You'll need remote log-in to the Digital Network from home. Maybe
fine if you're an engineer like yours truly but not very feasible is
you were, say, in accounts.... I dunno...!?
3. Using ftp to log on to ftp.orst.edu as an anonymous user, download
to your local node, use Windows/TeamLinks to get the VMS file onto your
PC at work, copy to floppies, take home, unzip onto your PC... simple
as that! :-[
4. Copy from FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM...]whatever to your local node,
use Windows/Teamlinks to get the VMS file onto your PC at work, and so
on, and so forth....!

| 4.34 | | VAXUUM::EROSS | | Tue Nov 22 1994 10:37 | 4 |

Andy,
I currently use VMS copy to copy files from FLYTE:: etc. to my SUBPAC::
account. I then log in from my PC at home using COMMWORKS/TSONLINE and use
the "SZ.EXE" Zmodem file transfer program to download the files.
Zmodem at 9600 baud (HLO's max dialin baud) takes roughly 1 minute per 100
blocks (average of 850 byte/second).
Sneaker_net(tm) (copying the files onto floppies and walking them home) is
slower since I have to walk down the hall to the PC *AND* break up any >1.4MB
file into floppy-sized chunks. And the best part is that I don't have to
remember to bring the floppy disks into work :-)

you a mail with the list of the "bad files"...(I begin with
<archive.doom.misc>)
I've copied DeuII , it is a hacked version of Deu521, it works fine
for doom2 and there is all credits for the authors of DEU521...Deu2-521 is
certainly the same, but it's corrupted at Flyte::... ;-)

Re-fetched dm2conv.zip and doom2p16.zip. If these don't work I can't
help you - must be a problem with the files on orst or something :-S.
Also, of interest to some of you, is the following (all in MISC) :-
APCIDM51.* :- 4 player modem stuff, doom 1 and doom 2.... take a look
DOOMPAR.* :- Parallel link driver for Doom
DWANGO1.* :- Details/client software needed for playing Doom on the
game server WANGO (fee for dialing, mind you!)
IDOOM10.* :- Yup, it's that TCP/IP network driver. Play over the
internet, compatible with the 'net FRAG SERVERS....
PSETUP10.* :- Another parallel link driver for LapLink/InterLnk
cables
RMS255B.* :- 2 to 4 players over serial link (Doom). How it does it
I don't know, I haven't read it.... take a look..!
SER4A.* :- Bug fix for modem players experiencing lock-up due to
16550 UART interrupts. Try it if you're stuck....
-Enjoy!

Looking at note 4.24 and doing a directory of FLYTE:: shows me
no files called
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666_A.ZIP;1
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666_A.TXT;3
or
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666SW.TXT;2
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]DM1666SW.ZIP;1
What's the minimum files needed to get started? Already have pkunzip, and
know how to spool copy, etc. Just need the right file names.
Thanks in advance,

| 4.71 | Latest Patch? | POLAR::KITES::BELIVEAU | | Mon Feb 13 1995 12:02 | 11 |
| I have the DOOM][ version 1.66 registeered version and I would
like to update it to the latest.
I believe that the latest is 1.8???
Is the DM18RPT.zip is the file that I need?
Thanks,
Ray
|
| 4.72 | | FORTY2::HOWELL | Just get to the point... | Mon Feb 13 1995 12:07 | 17 |
| The latest is now 1.9 ! (Id move fast these days!)
You need to go this way :-
V1.666 -----> V1.7 ------> V1.9
Since the v1.9 patch only patches from 1.7, not 1.666, so you need the
files :-
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]D2V17P.ZIP
...and then...
FLYTE::USER1:[ARCHIVE.DOOM.MISC]D2_19PAT.ZIP
Have fun!

| Oh, and another thing... Why should we bother with these patches? what
do they do? I can't say I've noticed any problems with V1.666.
Cheers, Laurie.
|
| 4.76 | | FORTY2::HOWELL | Just get to the point... | Tue Feb 14 1995 09:19 | 11 |
| I agree. I see no reason to really upgrade to V1.7, 1.8, 1.9 etc.
I think the latter versions all fix some sound card problems, plus
minor level changes for deatchmatches, etc. Nothing important, so I've
been lead to believe.
I will re-fetch all the 1.666->1.7 patches this afternoon... hold on...
:-)

This seems to be everything, so should solve most peoples problems. I
tested a few to make sure everything's okay, and they unzipped fine.

| 4.78 | valid zip files? | 2398::FELDMAN | | Tue Feb 14 1995 15:57 | 10 |
| I tried to unzip doom19s and zip tells me that it's not a valid zip
file - or that it may be part of a set and asks for file number 1.
What do I need to unzip this?
Also, I have no other versions of doom installed. Is doom19s complete
or do I need to install earlier versions and then upgrade. If so,
which files do I need?
(I have doom2 at home on a cdrom, but have never seen doom1)
|
| 4.79 | | FORTY2::HOWELL | Just get to the point... | Wed Feb 15 1995 04:22 | 11 |
| i) Are you using the latest version of PKUNZIP (2.04g I think)
ii) doom19s, from what I read, should be complete. Everything.
I haven't tried it, tho'.
iii)The shareware version of DOOM should be on your DOOM2 CD. However,
you have to install to your hard drive - it won't run of the CD
like DOOM2 does.
Cheers,
Dan

| 4.80 | fiels needs to be pkfixed | 2398::FELDMAN | | Thu Feb 16 1995 10:31 | 7 |
| yes, I'm using 2.04g. i tried analyzing the file, and pkunzip said to
run pkfix on it. so something may actually be wrong with this file.
has anyone else tried to unzip doom19s.zip?
running pkfix seems to have worked, but i haven't tried to install yet
so i don't know if i really have all the files.

| 4.81 | more... | 2398::FELDMAN | | Thu Feb 16 1995 10:36 | 4 |
| actually, i wrote the last note while running unzip - but before it
finished. Unzip gave me an error - doom1.ad is damaged, bad crc.
Is there another copy of this file somewhere?
|
| 4.82 | | FORTY2::HOWELL | Just get to the point... | Thu Feb 16 1995 10:38 | 5 |

on VMS before you un-pack it. It was fine last time I looked at it
(unzipped fine on VMS).

| 4.84 | I couldn't unpack it either... | GOVT02::SPENCE | Bugs? You mean insects? | Thu Feb 23 1995 08:12 | 19 |
| I also got an error trying to unzip Doom 1.9 using PKUNZIP 2.04g 02-01-93:
Searching ZIP: ../DOOM19S.ZIP
PKUNZIP: (W04) Warning! ../DOOM19S.ZIP - error in ZIP use PKZipFix
PKUNZIP: (E11) No file(s) found.
I don't have a copy of PKZipFix - is there one on the net that I can copy?
.-1 mentioned a tool called BILF - is this a utility which can munge the
ZIP file to fix this kind of problem? If so - can some one give me a pointer to
it?
As a third alternative, has someone succeeded in unpacking the ZIP file, and if
so, are the files from it available on the net, so I don't have to try and fix
the ZIP file?
Thanks,
Cameron

If there is a demand, and if I can find a little disk space, I should
be able to host this archive.
But note, this machine will be in the US, and won't be right on the network
backbone. It is, however, fairly well connected, and up 99.999% of the time.
If it isn't, I don't get my mail, or notes, or anything else, so I have some
motivation to keep it up...
Let me know,\
