I have no experience in game programming ad little experience in programming 
DOS machines, but is it actually possible to connect a program to DOOM as if 
it were a human? (at least from the point of view of the DOOM engine)
I am interested in this kind of thing, but -again- I have no experience with it
let alone a clue about how to do it.
