In regards to Doom (Shareware), FreeDoom, and Source Port derivatives that work with both the registered/commercial Doom and shareware distribution: I want to bring the concept of Shareware back from the dead. + Possibly a lot more than just that... If you would like to help out then consider having a quick look at Open TeamPlay and the Game Description Object or GDO. - http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamplay/ It's kinda in an 'Open Alpha / Planning' stage currently. e.g. I would like to add a DRM flag to the GDO object class so that end users can tell at a glance if something will install DRM on their systems. Possibly even a DRM_DescriptionObject class to go along with it. Seriously, 1KB of data in something like a URL can send a ***HEAP*** of information about something, especially if it only contains a series of 32-bit to 128-bit pointers to more up-to-date information stored in an online repository. I don't know why someone hasn't gotten of their arse and done this sooner to be honest. Regards, the.last.doomguy@gmail.com
