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.) > >Can anyone help me with this? > >Rich

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.
