Q: First off, why the stupid name?

A: Originally it was called DukeMap, but after joining the #duke3d channel,
   I was immediately told that there was already a program for launching
   TEN games called DukeMap.  Sooo... :(

Q: Why code a launcher for Duke Nukem 3D when Setup has all you could want?

A: Setup is a great program, but it has way to many limitations.  The most
   annoy of them is the 30 map limit.  D-Map will work around the limits,
   however it should be noted that D-Map is NOT a replacement for setup.
   It will not let you set up sound cards, redefine keys, etc etc.  It's
   strictly for launching Single Player, Serial and Modem Games.

Q: Why release D-Map?

A: As usual, I made D-Map for myself.  It started out as a single player
   launcher.

    Because I play Dukematch as much as I do (addict), I eventually added
    serial and modem support and sent D-Map to a few of my friends.  Oddly
    enough, they liked it, so I figured I'd release it to the public.

Q: What makes D-Map worth having?

A: Well, there are a few things that D-Map can do that make it worth using.
   Such as:

   ϊ No more 30 map limit.  If you have 500+ maps, you'll see 500+ maps.
   ϊ Maps can be sorted by Name or by Size which is useful when you and a
     friend are trying to find a specific MAP.
   ϊ Maps can be loaded from any directory without hassle.
   ϊ Above 2 points are also relevant for RTS files.
   ϊ Exiting Duke Nukem will return you to the Launcher.  Saves some time
     when playing level after level of dukematch :)
   ϊ etc etc.

Q: So what's missing?

A: Because I have no interest in rewriting setup, D-Map only lets you
   change a fraction of the things that setup will let you change.  D-Map
   will not set up your soundcard, video modes, controller type, etc etc.

   D-Map will however let you change your match name, your serial and
   modem ports and phone dialer names and numbers.

Q: What do I need to run it?

A: It should run fine on any computer that can run Duke Nukem 3D.  You will
   need a VGA card. ;)

   Last note:  If you dont like D-Map, then don't use it.  If you find a
               bug or many bugs, leave me some email.  (after all, it hasn't
               been tested as much as it could be).  If you use Win '95 and
               want a cool launcher, then get the Duke Nukem Control Center.
               It does everything my launcher does plus TONS more.  (that
               guy better pay up... hee hee).

 Thanks goes to my Brother for testing, and his positive reviews.  To Ted Z.
 for playing Dukematch with me over 100 times in just a few days. ;)  To SeKs
 for nagging me about getting off my butt and coding something.  (hey, not a
 demo but it was still fun to code!), and to Ulmo on #duke3d for recommending
 a help bar telling which keys do what... oops :)

 Greets to (SeKs, Fysx, Phoebus), Pandaro, Zorlim, Tmort, J.B. and anyone
 else I may have forgotten!!!

 D-Map is Shareware. If you find it useful, why not register it for only $5.
 Registering shows me that my time spent programming D-Map was well spent.
 If you dont have $5 then send me a postcard, email or whatever... :)
