DeICEing DOOM.WAD without MS-DOS Install

I would like to know the best and simplest method, if there is one, to extract the DOOM.WAD file from the shareware version of DOOM v1.9, downloadable as DOOMS19.ZIP, without being forced to first install it to an MS-DOS or Windows HDD partition. I want to use the DOOM.WAD file to test the latest version of VaVoom for Linux. Keep in mind that I no longer use MS-DOS or Windows.

 

The DOOMS19.ZIP archive contains the following files:

 

DEICE.EXE

DOOMS_19.1

DOOMS_19.2

DOOMS_19.DAT

INSTALL.BAT

 

The INSTALL.BAT file reads as follows:

 

@echo off

DEICE.EXE

if ERRORLEVEL == 1 GOTO END

DOOMS_19.EXE

if ERRORLEVEL == 1 GOTO ERROR

DEL DOOMS_19.EXE

SETUP

goto END

:ERROR

echo Error installing DOOMS_19.EXE!

:END

 

Once I have tested VaVoom, I want to use it with DOOM COLLECTOR'S EDITION, HEXEN, and DEATHKINGS OF THE DARK CITADEL (Hexen add-on), so finding an easy way to extract the WAD files under Mandriva Free 2007 will be very useful. By the way, WINE does not seem to be a possible solution.
