Have you seen the UDS copyright info? Are you sure we can derive from it for the wiki? - Jdowland 11:36, 25 Mar 2005 (EST)
- I don't see any text lifted from the UDS. As long as we're just using it for reference purposes and not copying anything, then there is no issue. Bloodshedder 11:48, 25 Mar 2005 (EST)
UNIX 'file' command
Here's the entry the UNIX file command uses to identify WADs:
# Thomas M. Ott (ThMO) 1 string =WAD DOOM data, >0 string =I main wad >0 string =P patch wad >0 byte x unknown junk
This could easily be elaborated on if someone wanted to :) - Jdowland 07:46, 7 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Cinder colour blazing eyes
Is WAD officially an acronym of "Where's All the Data", as the article states? And if so, could someone put a reference in the article? I always assumed that WAD was supposed to be the word 'wad', [1] nothing more complex than that.-Ashley Pomeroy 14:31, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

restriction on lump names
Only the characters A-Z (uppercase), 0-9, and [ ] - _ should be used in lump names (an exception has to be made for some of the Arch-Vile sprites, which use "\").. Is this true, or badly-phrased? A reference to the limitation in the code would be nice. I thought anything which passed isascii() was OK. -- Jdowland 22:29, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
