Description:	The DOOM* Client/Server System is a front-end to DOOM TCP/IP network drivers. You use the client software to connect to a Frag Server. While connected to the server, you can chat with other players and bystanders and negotiate game parameters. You tell the server what parameters you want, and when all the players are ready, the server will give the client the decided game parameters plus the IP adresses of all your victims. The client software will disconnect from the server and then run a multi-player DOOM game (iDOOM* or linuxxdoom*).

The Internet DOOM Client/Server System v0.12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]

The DOOM* Client/Server System is a front-end to DOOM TCP/IP
  network drivers. You use the client software to connect to a Frag
  Server. While connected to the server, you can chat with other
  players and bystanders and negotiate game parameters. You tell the
  server what parameters you want, and when all the players are ready,
  the server will give the client the decided game parameters plus the
  IP adresses of all your victims. The client software will disconnect
  from the server and then run a multi-player DOOM game (iDOOM* or
  linuxxdoom*).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
[System Requirements]

Client:
    DOOM v1.666/2 Shareware/Registered DOS/Linux
    Network Card
    iDOOM (for DOS)

Server:
    Unix Box - The Server has been compiled and tested under
      - Linux 1.1.xx
      - SunOS 4.1.3

---------------------------------------------------------------------
[Installation]

DOS Client:
    0. Install iDOOM
    1. Modify WATTCP.CFG
    2. Unzip CLIENT.EXE and CLIENT.CFG into your DOOM directory
    3. Modify CLIENT.CFG

Unix Client:
    0. Unzip the whole package into a directory
    1. Review the makefile
    2. Compile by running 'make client'
    3. Copy client and client.cfg to your DOOM directory
    4. Modify client.cfg

Server:
    0. Unzip the whole package into a directory
    1. Review the makefile
    2. Compile by running 'make server'
    3. Modify server.cfg
	4. Modify server.msg

---------------------------------------------------------------------
[Running]

Server:
    Choose the Frag Server nearest you. You may try the servers
  listed at the end of this document.

If you cannot connect to any of these servers, you must compile
  the server and maintain your own server in your locality. The
  Server compiles and runs only under Unix.  The commandline
  parameters parameters for The Server are:

server [-port <port>] [-log <log>] [-config <config>]

where portnum is the port number where the server will accept
  Client connections. The default port number is 1666. The default
  logfile is <portnum>.log.

If you are planning to maintain an Internet Frag Server, contact
  Jay Cotton <jay@calc.vet.uga.edu> so that your server will be added
  in the list of all servers.

Client:
    First, make sure that you are able to play multi-player games using
  iDOOM. The TCP/IP Internet DOOMer's FAQ is included in the iDOOM
  package [iDOOMxx.ZIP].

Make sure that you are in your DOOM directory when you do this. You
  connect to a server by typing:

client [-server <host>] [-port <portnum>]

where server is the hostname/IP address of your Server and portnum
  is the port number where The Server accepts connections. You may want
  to edit your client.cfg instead of using the commandline parameters.

Once connected, "type /help" to get a list of the server commmands.
  If you want to exit, just type "/quit" or ^X.

To check if there are players connected to a server, type
  "client -status" and it will give you all the players and guests
  connected to the server. Use "client -guest" if you just want to
  observe and don't want to join the game.
