When I subscribed to this mailing-list, that's what I expected to find. Unfortunately most
of the discussion in here would be better placed in alt.games.doom. There's little editing
discussion going on and I find I have to wade through piles of email on stuff that is
normally reserved for the newsgroups, not a mailing list.

How 'bout having support importing/exporting of the .DEH files for
DEHACKED? That way, the WAD file would have the level data and any desired
executable changes all in one file. The resource would have an agreed-upon
name (like DEHACKED) and simply be the binary data that is found in a .DEH
file. Then if DEHACKED where modified to be able to read the DEHACKED resource
from a WAD file, you would never need a separate .DEH file for your WAD. (You
would still need a .DEH file for restoring the executable back to normal.)

Subject: Weekly reminder: beginners' questions
This message is being posted at the request of the list caretaker:
The purpose of this list is to discuss *advanced* DOOM editing techniques.
In order to keep it that way, if you have a question but don't know whether
it's advanced or not, mail it in the first instance to:
Steve Benner : S.Benner@lancaster.ac.uk
Your question will either be answered or, if deemed suitable, forwarded to
the list. This is offered as a potential red-face saving and
list-annoyance abatement service. Feel free to send questions at any level
on any topic of WAD editing.
**If your questions are prefixed with the code WQ: (for 'WAD query') in the
subject field (e.g. Subject: WQ: Sprites), they will be processed quicker
because they will be spotted by an automatic mail sorter and brought to my
attention sooner than if I have to plough through my mail-box!**
This reminder will be posted here weekly, with the same subject title.

This is an interesting idea... might be useful to look into it. I'm
implementing a new patch format when I release the Heretic version of
DeHackEd. It'll be all text, and only have the necessary changes in it
(brings those nice 66K patch files down to a few hundred bytes of text).
It'll also do away with those annoying "normal" patches, because
everything will be read straight from a original copy of the Heretic.exe
file. Just thought I'd let everyone know of the plans in progress...
