To use the GO32 environment with DETH, you'll probably need to add the following statements (at least) to your autoexec.bat file, or to the RUNME1ST.bat file which is included with DETH:

SET GO32TMP=C:\TEMP <or whatever the name is of your TEMP dir>

SET GO32=DRIVER C:\DOOM2\DETH\DRIVERS\VESADRV.VDR <or your driver>

You may optionally add specific video parameters to set your resolution mode:

SET GO32=DRIVER C:\DOOM2\DETH\DRIVERS\VESADRV.VDR gw 1024 gh 768 nc 256

Also, if you're using a memory manager such as QEMM, you'll need to disable DPMI for GO32, so use:

SET GO32=NODPMI DRIVER C:\DOOM2\DETH\DRIVERS\VESADRV.VDR

And finally, if you don't have a math coprocessor, you'll need to get an emulator such as EMU387, put it in a DETH\EMU directory, and tell GO32 where to find it, like:

SET GO32=NODPMI EMU C:\DOOM2\DETH\EMU\EMU387 DRIVER C:\DOOM2\DETH\DRIVERS\VESADRV.VDR

DETH is a DOS extended program (GCC) which takes advantage of expanded memory. If you can use DEU 5.21GCC, you can use DETH.

As mentioned, a batch file is included with DETH called RUNME1ST.bat, which you may want to edit as per the above (or to your own tastes) and run before using DETH.

DETH is not compatible with Windows 95! I'm afraid that at this late date, there are no longer any plans to update DETH for use with Windows 95.
