Description:	DeHackEd is a tool, that changes the way, how the DooM executable works, that means, how the game DooM behaves. This package contains all the outdated versions of the tool. The latest version of DeHackEd by Greg Lewis, that is v3.0a, can be found in the /idgames -ftp -archives (see current list of mirrors at the end of this file) here: utils/exe_edit/dhe30a.zip DeHackEd v3.1 is able to work with Final DOOM. That update has been done by John A. Kaczmarski Jr. (74017.3225@compuserve.com or jkacz@en.com). It is avaiable in the /idgames-archives here: utils/exe_edit/dhe31.zip Although the newer versions have good downwards compatibility to older deh-patches, there are still sometimes one or two problems, when you try to use very old dehacked-patches with the latest versions of Dehacked (3.0a/3.1) and DooM(I and II v. 1.9). Because of that, you should import any antique deh-patch into the doom.exe-version, for that it has been created. Use for this action the dehacked version, that has been used to create the deh-patch. Then export the changes from the modified DooM.exe by using a newer version of DeHackEd, that is able to create patches, that are compatible with newer versions of DooM and Dehacked. It is important to know, that only dehacked 2.3 and 2.4 support DooM versions from 1.2 to 1.9. Since DeHackEd v.3.0, only DooM versions from 1.666 upwards are supported. Old deh-patches require often older versions of the doom(2).exe, to work properly. Start with downgrading DooM with /utils/exe_edit/downgrd.zip from Ultimate Doom v1.9 to Doom v1.1 And doom2.exe with /utils/exe_edit/dm2dwngr.zip from 1.9 to 1.666. (The file locations are from the /idgames archives, see list of current mirrors below). Upgrade from those low versions to the required version by using the official patches.

Anonymous	Absolutely legendary, and still very useful, as there are a lot of deh patches in these older formats.	x
