• you will also need the original game data files (commercial or shareware version). Here is an example how to get them.
• unzip the files:

# unzip wolf_3d.zip
# unzip vgafiles.zip
# unzip wlfbelpc.zip

• rename the files in lowercase. You can use this script if you're lazzy ;-)

#!/bin/sh

for file in `ls .`; do
        if [ -f "$file" ]; then
                new_name=`echo $file |tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`
                echo "$file -> $new_name"
                mv $file $new_name
        fi
done
