Hello again!

I have tried downloading the DOOM and HElliZER demos  
for Win32. I installed the SDL0.8 library as stated and  
remembered to install and unpack the doom1.wad file.  
This is what happened:

DOOM did not run at all. I got this in stdout.txt though:

> ```
> DOOM Shareware Startup v1.10
> 
> ```
> 
> V\_Init: allocate screens.  
> M\_LoadDefaults: Load system defaults.  
> Z\_Init: Init zone memory allocation daemon.  
> W\_Init: Init WADfiles.  
> adding ./doom1.wad

If I remove the SDL-dib.dll I don’t get anything at  
all in stdout.txt so it must be able to see this file…

HElliZER seemed to work - and with audio!  
The music in the intro was very choppy (I guess this  
is my machine which is too slow, as I read in some  
file somewhere in SDL), but there were audio.

I couldn’t get further than the intro (what’s the magic key? 🙂  
The Esc key exits…

Any ideas of what may be wrong?

I’m trying to hack a little in the aliens demo  
while looking at the HElliZER source to see  
if I can make it work.

Cheers–
