I'd be in favour of changing rott, lgeneral and wolf3d to not require '-f' and
treat a single argument as a path if supplied, in line with the other targets.

It's not *that* in line, though.

rott and wolf3d require a specific set of data files to run, they do not share the concept of a single WAD file. So, for single-WAD games g-d-p expects the path to said WAD file if not other argument is given and for multiple-data-files games it expects the path to a collection of files. For rott and wolf3d that's currently the shareware ZIP file. but what do we do for the registered versions,for which such a ZIP file does not exist?

I think it's hard to align these two types of games (single and multiple data files).

I guess I don't disagree with that. Someone needs to do the work to implement
it though :) There's no point for Doom since we have doom-wad-shareware. So
there's at least heretic, hexen, hexen 2, quake, quake 3 which have demo
versions.

And strife, which vavoom supports.
