After installing +the game (perhaps using DOSBox), the data files will be found in the game's +install directory. +.PP +To play modified versions of the game ("mods"), place the mod's files in +their own directory, cd to that directory, and run the appropriate game +binary. The files in the current directory will be used instead of (or in +addition to) the ones in \fB/usr/share/games/wolf3d\fR. Remember that only +lowercase filenames will work (use "unzip -LL" when extracting).
