I just purchased the registered version of Doom (Ultimate_Doom.exe), and
I want to start playing the game, but there is a problem--I'm a Linux user.

I was able to play the shareware Doom episode using prboom and freedoom,
so I know Doom can work on Linux. I just need to get the WAD files
extracted from the executable ultimate_doom.exe. How can I do this?

Please CC me because I'm not subscribed to the list.

That might be a self-extracting zip file. If so, you should be able to
extract it as any other zip file using unzip or similar tools. Otherwise
you might need to use Wine to run the installer and extract the files.

Thank you very much Sven. I used wine, and I'm now happily playing
Ultimate Doom on my Linux system.
