wadptr is a tool for compressing Doom .wad files. It takes advantage of the

structure of the WAD format and some of the lumps stored inside it to merge

repeated data. [The manpage](https://soulsphere.org/projects/wadptr/manual.html)

has some more information.

Building wadptr requires a toolchain with at least C99 and POSIX.1-2008

support, plus GNU make. Contemporary systems based on Linux, BSD,

Solaris/Illumos, Cygwin or mingw-w64 will do.
