                                SER6.EXE
                        DOOM SERIAL DEVICE DRIVER


SER6 is a minor upgrade to SER5, the main reason for this release is
to make SER5 compatable with DOOM ][: Hell on Earth.  There were a few other 
minor problems with that were fixed in this version, but you'll probably 
never notice them.  The biggest change is the displaying of the contents
of the response file when using Doom v1.666 or Doom ][.

If you already have SER5 running on your computer, there are only a few 
changes you need to make:
1)  Replace SER5.EXE with the new SER6.EXE in this archive.
2)  Rename SER5.CFG to SER6.CFG
2)  Add a "DOOM2=" switch in your SER6.CFG file.  Placement is not critical,
        but Capital letters are required(without the quotes).  If you are 
        using Doom ][, this switch must be set to 1.

If you do not have SER5, then follow the installation instructions
in SER6.TXT.  

For Doom ][ compatability, SER6 now properly handles the following
1) Command line option -warp <map #> (instead of -warp <episode><level>)
2) Autowarp, and Level Displaying checks for the MAP?? directory entry, 
        instead of the E?M? entry in DOOM I wads.
3) Episode is skipped in the configuration, since it is useless to DOOM ][.

That's about all there's to it.
