Warning! running BMP-DOOM.exe in the same directory as doom.exe will wipe out
your origional .fnt files!  please keep BMP-DOOM in it's own direcory to avoid
this situation.  BMP-DOOM will overwrite the Doombig.fnt and Doomsmal.fnt files
without asking you.

Bmp-Doom is a pretty simple program.  
Just run the program with the included bmp files in it's directory, and it
will create two files:

  Doombig.fnt  - The large font for countdown of hours:Min:sec
  Doomsmal.fnt - The small font for countdown of days since/till
  
From there - simply rename the old doombig.fnt and doomsmall.fnt to something
else so you dont loose them, and put the new .fnt in the same directory 
where doom.exe is.  I put bmp-doom in it's own directory so accidental 
erasure of of the origional .fnt files is harder to do. :)

Note:  You can intermix any like minded fonts.
       (i.e. if you made a killer small font but want a different big font, 
	    there is no problem.  Just remember you *MUST* have 1 small font and
		1 big font labeled the correct names or doom.exe will not work.)

Making new fonts:
-----------------
The way to make new fonts easily is to use the enclosed .bmp files as your
templates.  Please note the size, type and color depth of the file is 
very important! do not alter any of these factors or the program will give
unexpected results!  The best way to avoid this is to simply load up the 
.bmp files in your graphic editor of choice, and edit them directly. The 
easiest way to do this is whenever you are going to create a new font,
to make a new directory, and copy all the related files into the new
directory - and work from there.  This helps when you want to fine tune
old fonts as I dont have a program to reverse the process. (FNT to BMP)

NOTE: (Request)
If you make any cool fonts for Clock-O-Doom, send them my way so I can include
them in my web site / ftp for the rest of the world to see your creations!
(of course I will give you credit for it. :)
