Help: Converting wads from dom to doom2 in Windows XP

Greetings,

I recently got back into Doom/Doom2.  I am on Windows XP now, and none
of my old editors or conversion utilities work under XP (at least I
can't get them to work).  

I have searched the net for an XP editor which converts between
formats (or even a stan-alone program like Dm2Conv, the old DOS
program) but no luck.

Can anyone help me with this?

Rich

I can name one Windows editor: WadAuthor.  The catch is that this is
shareware.   

You could take a look at ZETH, which is liked from here:
http://zdoom.org/download.html

For managing textures and other lumps, you can go with WinTex (which may or
may not require DeuTex.)  

(BTW, I wouldn't bother converting something between the Doom/Doom2 format.
It's not too hard to find copies of the collector's edition and run it from
there.)

Thanks for the reply.  I just now answered my own question about how
to use a program (in this case, DM2CONV) under Windows XP:  I just
wrote the command line in a batch file and executed it.  All done.

Thanks for the editor heads up, though.

Rich
