  Gee, spot the person who hasn't been lurking before they post... :-)

  No offense, but it's been pretty hard to miss everyone talking about 
DEVIL (Descent Editor for Vertices... er, something.  I think.)  In case 
you hadn't guessed, it's a Descent level editor.  (Duh.)  By all accounts 
(well, one account, which is all I've seen posted), it's nicer to use 
than many of the Doom level editors.

  The files you're looking for: devil097.zip and devil097.txt (although 
the .txt file is unnecessary if you already know what it is.)  You'll 
also need emu387 (the floating-point emulator for GO32), if your machine 
doesn't have a coprocessor (ie, if you've got a 386 or 486SX.)  I don't 
know the exact filename for emu387, but it's reported to be on 
ftp.cdrom.com in /pub/games/incoming.

  Where to find them:

   ftp.cdrom.com, /pub/games/incoming
   ftp.netcom.com, /pub/cs/csua/descent

  It's been uploaded to various other sites, but they generally don't 
have readable incoming directories.  With luck, it should soon be 
appearing in the descent directory of a site near you.

  Oh, and the answer to your question is 'Yes.'
