I was unable to ftp to either of these paths on the internet.  Could someone
please let me know where I can find the workstation version of Doom for the
internet?  

Thanks in advance.

oh Rick, did you ever get sucked into that one.  The semi-original poster
should have put smileys all over those internet adresses.  Don't expect to
see Doom for Unix anytime soon me thinks.

The reason you couldn't ftp is because neither of those sights exist, and,
for that matter, neither does DOOM for workstations, or DOOM for anything
besides plain old vanilla DOS. Nice joke, but I would have put a ton of
smileys after it to put across the true meaning.

Hello! BTW: This is a joke: vapor-ware is a term meaning non-existant

Not availible for anything but DOS? *bzzzt*!

There has been a beta for NeXTStep486 floating around since before the
dos version was released.  Id is supposedly working on a version
for original NeXT (black) hardware for final release also.  It's entirely
possible that after NeXT is done porting NeXTStep to Sun, Id will release
a version for that too :)  But who knows..

But for the moment, yep, don't hold your breath for a Sun version of Doom.

You should be able to get them by ftp 127.0.0.1. 
 Do NOT however login as anonymous. 127.0.0.1 is an experimental ftp site 
somwhere@someplace.anywhere, I can't remember. You will have to log on as 
yourself, and type your own password to access it. And don't worry, the 
passwords aren't stored.

This is a wild idea but I wouldn't do this - it would record your password
and with that and your complete address they could log on as you anytime
time pleased and could raise hell with your account.

Don't do it.

	This isn't a "wild idea", it's a joke.  127.0.0.1 is the "loopback"
address on Unix systems.  After you "ftp" to this "site" (on which your
login ID and password are valid--what a coincidence!), you will be right
where you started--on your own machine.  There's really no more risk of
someone capturing your password than any other time you log in.

	You have been sent to get the prop wash, a left-handed monkey-
wrench, muffler bearings, you name it.  This is the Internet version.
It shows up in most newsgroups with a high proportion of practical jokers.
I think this group qualifies.

DON'T try this.  This is a JOKE! (verry funny, asshole!)  What happens is that 
you end up back on your home system.  127.0.0.1 is a loopback port for Unix 
systems.  It is used to test networking hardware.

gunnarh must think pulling this little joke is funny.  It's not.  Do yourself 
a favor and ignore any more worthless advise this shithead might give out, as 
he has proven himself to be untrustwothy.

gunnarh, why don't you het a life and stop trying to fuck up the newbies?

	Oh come on guys. 127.0.0.1 would be your own machine... This guy is
