Yep. JDoom is an enhanced version of Doom. Same basic game (it uses the same
maps, textures, sounds, etc) but it runs in windows instead of dos, which
solves a whole load of problems, including mouse-related ones. (Windows XP
doesn't work well with dos-based games). Also, there's a ton of new features
built in like high resolution screen modes and texture smoothing which make
the game look a lot better.
