Description:	When I first got into hacking around with doom, I had a friend who liked Doom much more than he liked heretic. So he asked me if it were possible to pull the maps out of His heretic and play them in the Doom engine. What you have here is the resulting answer. This little batch file, and the utilities packed with it (none of which are mine), extract the map info from Heretic, run them through a converter, and recompile them into a single wad. A fair warning, not all of the textures work quite right and sometimes things look a little strange, and some of the monster replacement will shock you (at least it did me), but this is for fun, so Hey. As a copyright note, no ID or Raven coprighted material is included in this package. You need Heretic Wad to extract from and Doom to play.

This actually isn't a new wad, but when it's finished the results plays like one, well sort of.

Unpack this into your Heretic directory, and make sure you have no files that have ExMx as a title in the directory.
Then type Doometic. When all the silly little words are finished scrolling you should have a Doometic.wad in the directory. Move it to where-ever you keep your doom1 wads and have fun 8)
