** Hexen BEHAVIOR De-compiler **
                                v0.50

DESCRIPTION:

Ever wondered how all of those special effects work in Hexen?  This
program allows you to look at any of the BEHAVIORS in a Hexen .WAD file to
see how it all works.

This version simply dumps the contents of the BEHAVIOR structure in a
format that is fairly close to the original ACS script source code.  With
some manual editing, it can be recompiled and put into your .WAD file.

FUTURE PLANS:

Accept raw BEHAVIOR lump files in addition to those embedded in the
     .WAD file.
    Complete source code recovery - ie: the output can be fed directly
     into the ACC.EXE compiler without any manual editing.
     - Support the standard .acs files for constants & definitions
     - Customization file to allow you to assign names to variables
    Interpret arguments to functions and display compile-time #defines
     instead ( ie: 0 => SKILL_VERY_EASY, 5 => T_FIREGARGOYLE, ... )
    Re-compile back to raw BEHAVIOR format ( without ACC.EXE ).

REQUIREMENTS:

1) A supported operating:
      a) OS/2 2.0 or higher
      b) DOS ( v?.?? or higher - tested with 5.0 & 6.22 )
      c) a Win32 platform ( Windows NT or Windows 9x )
   2) A Hexen .WAD file
