Description             : Principal Functions
			  The program permits to view a WAD file of any type (textures,
			  sounds, constructions), opening it to visualize in hexadecimal
			  format.
			  Also this program is useful to view any class of file (really 
			  any type!) and it can also help you to find "virus strings" or
			  strange information in your data.
			  However, the principal idea of its development was to view
			  WAD files.
			  This program will not alter of damage your files anyway :)

* Program Information *

This aplication helps you to visualize WADs constructed for DooM, DooM ][, Heretic and HeXen.

There are some ways how you can use the program,

In the DOS Mode:
Usage: (for example)

c:\wadhex>wadhex myfile.wad       - will display all the hexadecimal content of this file

c:\wadhex>wadhex myfile.wad |more - will display all the hexadecimal content page by page

c:\wadhex>wadhex myfile.wad > prn - will send all the hexadecimal content to printer

In the Windows Mode:
Usage: (for example)

Using the Explorer you can also drag any WAD file and put it over the executable file of
WADHex... it is that simple to make the program works on your selected file.

I have also included some batch files that can help, to make the usage of this utility faster.
Please note that batch files should be executed in the DOS mode for best results.

* Construction *

Base                    : From scratch.
			  I built part of this application when I was a student.
			  Some changes were done to make it works fine and safe.
Build Time              : Two days approximatively, considering tests and depurations.
Programming Languaje    : Turbo 'C'
Known Bugs              : Anyone by the moment.
Extra Comments          : You can invoke the program from within DOS directly or using
			  the Explorer if you are in the Windows environment... (which
			  I think will be case of the majority of users)
