APCiDOOM is a front-end utility for DOOM as well as client software that
allows high-speed modem users to play FOUR PLAYER true network modem DOOM
via the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server.

The current version of APCiDOOM as of 8/6/94 is v3.0.  Proper operation
requires DOOM v1.6 beta or later.

APCiDOOM supports the following DOOM gaming modes:

    1 - MultiPlayer Modem DOOM via the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server.
        Yes, up to FOUR PLAYERS can now play together anytime, from
        anywhere, with their high-speed modem.  A special chat utility
        enables players to chat and to change WAD files and settings
        before and between games.
    2 - Two-player modem DOOM including chat support.
    3 - Two-player serial link DOOM including chat support.
    4 - MultiPlayer IPX DOOM including chat support. 

APCiDOOM is merely client software.  It is NOT the software that provides
support for multiplayer modem DOOM.  Support is provided by the APCi
MultiPlayer Game Server.  

The APCiMPGS is a true 32-bit server application that allows gamers to 
network and play together via any combination of modem connections, direct 
serial connections, and IPX connections.  The APCiMPGS software will support 
up to 256 concurrent player connections on a single computer system.

The APCiMPGS currently supports id Software's DOOM, and development and 
testing is in progress for support of Spectrum HoloByte's Falcon, and 
Velocity Software's SpectreVR.

An APCiMPGS developer's toolkit is also being developed to allow gaming
developers to include support for the APCiMPGS with network-capable games.
APCi is approaching developers of games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator,
Papyrus IndyCar Racing, and many others to release versions with APCiMPGS
support.
