Sorry to bring up wintex bugs again, but it seems that if I use 
wintex 4.1 to change some of my textures (that I had to add with 
wintex 3.41), then when I go back and play the wad, it's fine, and 
the texture is fixed, but if I try to edit it (i use DCK like all real 
men) the textures in the texture are all screwed up in the editor.  
I think maybe wintex 4.1 changes something in the wad, but forgets 
to change (or screws up) something else (like descriptions). But 
I don't know much about the wad makeup.

This is just a wild guess and I'm not willing to pursue it 
further.  The deathmatch starts might be set to the order in 
which they were laid down while developing the wad.  So if a 
wad has only 4 deathmatch starts, the 4th would be green, 3rd 
indigo, 2nd brown, 1st red.  Of course if there are less than 4 
players, the numbers shift down.
