DESCRIPTION

       DeuTex is a wad composer for Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Strife. It can be used to extract
       the lumps of a wad and save them as individual files or the reverse, and much more.

       When extracting a lump to a file, it does not just copy the raw data, it converts it to an
       appropriate format (such as PPM for graphics, Sun audio for samples, etc.). Conversely,
       when it reads files for inclusion in pwads, it does the necessary conversions (for
       example, from PPM to Doom picture format).

   Decomposing a wad
       To decompose a wad (i.e. extract its contents), use the -extract (a.k.a. -xtract) command.
       When decomposing a wad, DeuTex creates one file for each lump. The files are created in
       one of the following subdirectories of the working directory: flats/, lumps/, musics/,
       patches/, sounds/, sprites/, textures/. The decomposing process also creates a very
       important file, wadinfo.txt, which will be used later when composing.

       To extract the contents of the Doom II iwad,

           deutex -doom2 /path/to/doom2.wad -xtract

       To extract the contents of a Doom II pwad named mywad.wad,

           deutex -doom2 /path/to/doom2.wad -xtract mywad.wad

       To extract only the sprites,

           deutex -doom2 /path/to/doom2.wad -sprites -xtract

       To extract only the sounds,

           deutex -doom2 /path/to/doom2.wad -sounds -xtract

   Composing (building) a wad
       Composing is the symmetrical process. It’s done with the three commands -build, -create
       and -make, that are equivalent. Using wadinfo.txt and the files in flats/, lumps/,
       musics/, patches/, sounds/, sprites/ and textures/, DeuTex creates a new wad.

       To create a new pwad named mywad.wad,

           deutex -doom2 /path/to/doom2.wad -make mywad.wad

       To create a new iwad named mytc.wad,

           deutex -doom2 /path/to/doom2.wad -iwad -make mytc.wad

   Other operations
       DeuTex has many (too many?) other commands like -join, -merge, -usedtex etc.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All messages are identified by a unique code. Some messages are identical; the code is
       useful to distinguish them. All codes have four characters: two letters and two digits.
       The letters identify the part of the code where the message comes from, the digits give
       the message number within that area. In general, numbers are assigned so that messages
       that come from parts of the code that are executed earlier have lower numbers.
