I'm looking for people to alpha test DOOMII for NEXTSTEP in a
couple of days. I'm going to need people testing DOOMII on various
platforms (especially various Intel configurations). You must be
willing to accept NeXTMail. You must be ready to accept the fact
that DOOMII may be an unfriendly neighbor to your other
applications. It can (and probably will) hang/crash your machine.
You should also be willing to run DOOMII as root; this is necessary
for one of the speed optimizations we've written -- it should still
run w/o being superuser, but will be somewhat slower [specifically
on 8bit color machines].
DoomII requires Interceptor which comes with NS3.3 and NEXTIME.
It has currently only been verified to run under version 20 of
Interceptor. To determine whether it will run on your machine, do
the following:
% /bin/otool -L /usr/shlib/libInterceptor_s.A.shlib
You should get the following results:
/usr/shlib/libInterceptor_s.A.shlib (minor version 20)
For the first alpha, I'm only going to release DOOMII to a few
people per machine configuration. For black, green and yellow
hardware, this will end up being only a few people since there are
so few configurations. For white hardware though, this will
probably be quite a few people. First come first serve. After the
alpha release(s) are over, the beta will be available to one and
all.
Bugs discovered during the alpha period should be reported to
<mailto:doom at omnigroup.com>. A general discussion list for
DOOMII/NEXTSTEP has been set up at
