This is the "manual" binary distribution of GetWAD.

INSTALLATION
------------
To install the program, you need to:
  1. Place the 6 files (getwad.exe, getwad.dll, zlib.dll, libcurl.dll,
     libcurl-COPYING.txt and getwad.chm) in any directory you like.
  2. Make a shortcut to getwad.exe. This will start GetWAD
     and it will prompt you for the name of the WAD to fetch.
  3. Make a shortcut to getwad.exe with the command line
     option "-setup" (that is, the command line should be:
     "getwad.exe -setup"). This will bring up the configuration
     dialog of the program.
  4. Make a shortcut to the CHM file so you can read the usage
     notes.

USAGE
-----
GetWAD can be invoked in two ways: 

* The "Setup" mode: it displays a configuration dialog where
  you can modify the various searching parameters (eg., which
  pages and search engines it should consult, where to deposit
  the WAD files, etc.). You have to use this mode first in 
  order to specify the location of the WAD directory; ideally, 
  you will not have to use it after that. You enter this mode
  by running the program from the command line using the
  syntax:

     getwad -setup

* The "Search" mode: it  searches the Web for WAD files, down-
  loads them, unzips them and installs them in the WAD directory.
  You enter this mode by running the program  from the command line
  using the syntax: 

     getwad [-d "wad_directory"] wad_name_1 [wad_name_2 ...]

  The "-d" option specifies the directory where the WAD files
  will be deposited, and "wad_name_1", "wad_name_2", etc.
  specify the desired WAD files. This mode can be useful when
  GetWAD is called from another program or script. The WAD
  names may or may not have the .wad extension. If no WAD name
  is specified, the program will prompt you for one.
