The shareware IWAD only contains the resources required for Doom E1.
It is unlikely the PWADs restrict themselves to those resources.

Therefore, while PrBoom won't explicitly prohibit you from running PWADs
with the shareware IWAD, it is unlikely the PWAD will work correctly.

PrBoom is only an engine. Try FreeDoom if you need a free full IWAD.
