INTRODUCTION

The Duke Nukem 3D Resolution Changer v2.0 is a program that allows you
to run Duke Nukem 3D Shareware v1.3d or Duke Nukem 3D Full Version v1.3d
in any resolution you want to just as long as your monitor and video 
card can support the mode you specify.

PROGRAM USAGE

To use this program successfully, place it into your Duke Nukem 3D
directory (Example: C:\DUKE3D)  Run the EXE called DUKERES.EXE.
You will see a menu with five different choices.  The choices are:

(1)  Change Duke Nukem 3D Resolution
(2)  Change Configuration File
(3)  Display Duke Nukem 3D Version
(4)  View Documentation
(5)  Quit

The first menu choice, Change Duke Nukem 3D Resolution, serves as the
main function of the program, which is to play Duke Nukem 3D in a
resolution that you specify.  When you choose this option, you'll be
prompted to enter the width and height in pixels of the resolution
you want.  Here is a list of common VESA compliant video modes that
should work:

Width x Height

320  x  200
320  x  240
320  x  400
640  x  480
800  x  600
1024 x  768
1600 x 1200

After you enter the width and height, you will then be able to run
Duke Nukem 3D in a whole new way, with good graphics!

The second menu choice, Change Configuration file, is used to specify
an alternate Duke Nukem 3D configuration file.  The default file used
is DUKE3D.CFG, but in some cases you may want to specify another
configuration file to write the new resolution data to.

The third menu choice, Display Duke Nukem 3D Version, simply tells you
the current version number of Duke Nukem 3D you have, just to verify
that you do in fact have v1.3d and not v1.1 etc.

The fourth menu choice, View Documentation, simply displays the file
you are reading now on the screen.

The fifth menu choice, Quit, exits the program.

WHAT'S NEW IN v2.0

1.  A main menu has been added with five different menu choices.
2.  The VESA and Screen Buffered mix up has been fixed.
3.  The program now detects whether VESA should be used or not.
4.  Resolution changing works with both Shareware and Full versions.
5.  The program can now display your Duke Nukem 3D version number.
6.  Alternate Duke Nukem 3D configuration files can be specified.
7.  This document DUKERES.TXT can be viewed from the program.
8.  Enhanced error-trapping traps 99% of all program errors.

TROUBLESHOOTING

When you run Duke Nukem 3D, if it says that VESA does not support the
mode specified, then your video card probably does not support that mode.
Run DUKERES.EXE again and then choose one of the common video modes
specified above.  If you still receive an error, then maybe you need
to load a VESA driver such as UNIVBE.EXE.  This driver is available
for download on major online services and the Internet.  If all else
fails, delete your DUKE3D.CFG and run SETUP.EXE again to configure
Duke Nukem 3D for your system.
