What is WinDOOM?
======================= Here is the latest information on WinDOOM, direct from Microsoft. – WinDOOM is a joint effort of id Software and Microsoft. Microsoft is doing most of the porting work. – WinDOOM is a Win32 application. It runs under Windows NT and Windows 4.0. – WinDOOM uses the recently announced WinG libraries. – WinDOOM supports full music and sound and supports all Windows MIDI and WAVE devices. – WinDOOM has variable resolution. WinDOOM can render the display at 320×200 through 640×400. Resolutions greater than 640×400 are performed via “stretching” (this is a limitation of the DOOM engine) – WinDOOM supports network play via WinSOCK (TCP/IP) and NetBIOS (NetBeui, IPX, etc.) – WinDOOM supports any display with at least 256 colors. – WinDOOM is multithreaded so if you’re running under a multiprocessor machine you’ll see a significant speed increase. – WinDOOM will support DEC Alpha and MIPS RISC machines.
