Duh...  I just posted the same complaint, but I didn't bother to read the
readme file.  I find Doom without mouse (actually trackball) support
unplayable.  The mention of Windows XP on the package amounts to deceptive
advertising.  Oh well, at least I have the latest editions of the WAD
files, so I can use one of the source ports.  Some of those ports run in
Linux, so that gets me one step closer to scrubbing every trace of the
Evil Empire out of my system.
