There is normal 2 versions of Doomday Engine.
dde200 is version 2.0.0 build and it comes out from author 3-4 times a week
where I then only will send it out once a week.
dmd115x is complete new 1.15.x version there comes from author once a month
Then can the author sometimes had made a version I make to be dde115x there is
some new build version, but it is only happens from time to time and is not
regular.


  Take care,
            Gert
