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)

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)

I've put this in the article itself; you should have done that, it would have saved me time.-Ashley Pomeroy 05:18, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
If you didn't have time to do it, you could have left it for someone else :P -- Jdowland 08:42, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
