Not even necessary to post a whole FAQ; just keep a running, updated list
of all the Editing help files, and post that. The list should make it
clear to me in what order I should look at FAQs and training aids, so that
I don't have to keep asking for information that's easily gotten. If
someone knows where to look, and what file they want, they will be much
less likely to plague you experts with trivial questions. But if they have
to ask you for the publications, they will probably just ask their questions
instead.
Make it obvious what's available, and where to find it.

Normally I would say WADED v1.42. However, I haven't given many other
editors a fair chance of use to be totally sure. However, I KNOW that
WADED v2.00 will be better than any editor out there. :-)

Aww... don't get despondent Steve! Maybe we'll be left with the cream of

Sure, just edit your hmm.... texture1 and texture2 file? Right guys? Try
DeuTex or Wacker

The best share/freeware editor or the best vaporware editor? 8-)
=-< (After being hit with several flying objects for being obnixious. )
Seriously though, what is the latest scoop on DEU 5.3? I haven't hear much
since the screen shots ( Very cool by the way, now I really can't wait. )
Anyone know?
