Bugs: this is still a "beta", but I am not sure if I'm going to continue
this project, so I'm releasing it now as public domain software. Enjoy!
As for bugs-

Wad: Some slime trails*, mostly parts of the floor
lettering, and a couple minor texture misalignments

Program: Most of the major bugs should have been ironed out, but it's
possible that there are still some I have't caught.

Description             : A program which uses Zdoom as a shell for
Markmenu, instead of using normal text input at the keyboard.
=====================================================================

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : Map 06 - 07 (if you end up at a rather crappy
rendition of Map07, with the word idclev06 on the ground, it means
the program didn't execute right, scince it should take you to Map06 on
start up.

Single Player           : Yup
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Nope (it would get rather ugly :)
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   :        "
Difficulty Settings     : Hopefuly not too difficult :)

New Sounds              : none
New Graphics            : Doom's 3d engine instead of plain text graphics.
New Music               : no
Demos Replaced          : no

Note: I strongly recommend using Zdoom for Dos instead of the Windows
versions, scince it's more appropriate for this type of program and it
loads much faster.
                        
  Before using, change the load_skin and m_skin lines in p_ini.bat
to this:

set load_skin=yes
set m_skin=zdmm

Then unzip this archive in your markmenu directory. Don't move the
wad file to the Doom2 directory unless that's the location Markmenu is
installed as well. You also need to specify where your Markmenu directory
is by editing zdmmskin.bat and setting the "photlocd" value to
whatever directory Markmenu is intalled in.

Dehacked patch note: This batch file creates the required dehacked patch on
the fly, in your Markmenu di
