doom2.exe -file redemp~1.wad

Considering that it has a filename that's not conforming to 8.3, it's most likely not intended for vanilla Doom. Check the text file to see if it requires a sorce port (such as PrBoom, Eternity, ZDoom, Doomsday, or various others)

I recall using that for Doom2 ok, did you need to know the proceedure to use DosBox or an emoulator to run a wad? it has been so long for me i would have to review.

You also need a REGISTERED doom2.exe file if your are not going to use a source port.
