Strife files
I recommend buying Strife: Veteran Edition from the DRM-free platform GOG.
It also includes the original dos version, and a beta version from 1995 that's even older than the v1.0 demo.
You'll probably want to grab the older setup.exe from the v1.0 demo to configure controls for the beta.
However, there are good resources and info at the Steam Community.
NOTE: The Loremaster's grappling hook is badly nerfed in VE, Chocolate Strife it's based on, and SvStrife that's based on.
Zports got the enemy weapon better but it still doesn't throw upward like in the dos game, and trying to make a player weapon that shoots it
back to launch yourself has no such effect on anything with the backshot.
UPDATE: The Loreshot works properly in dos source recreation ports.
Source ports for Strife:

Strife Sequence Breaks (doomwiki) (Spoilers!)
Strife Dead Ends (doomwiki) (Spoilers!) - Some intentional but some not.
Nash's Better Strife v0.1 and Zaero's Strife Uncut 1.6 fix some of these. See mods.
Veteran's Edition also does but also removes options for some dead ends that were intentional, making the game easier.
It adds new content in some cases, so it may be fun to get away with misbehaving without having a practical game over.

Can give them map ID #'s for placement in maps.
3/16/24 Txt file of all the unknown things identified.
For the ports currently supporting sehacked (Veteran's Edition, Chocolate, and SvStrife),
it seems the only way to load patches is with the command line:
whateverport -deh whatever.seh
That's -DEH. -Seh does not work, and embedding a patch in a sehacked or dehacked entry in a wad does not work.
Sehacked support was unfinished in SvStrife and it badly malfunctions with my patches.

3/17/24 Development/Editing feature discussion and test maps on Doomer Boards thread.
(Strango5 map14 with gokweap5.wad in Zandronum, but I summoned items not placed in the map)
(Strango5 map01 with Weapons of Rebellion Lite in RZDoom pictured)
At the moment I can't get a version of my sehacked grappling hook to work right in decorate
and it is nerfed in ports supporting sehacked.
Whether it's my sehacked weapon or shot by the Loremaster in unmodified Strife,
it's supposed to yank and launch the player rather viciously,
and also upward even when shot parallel to the ground.
This also means that the Loremaster boss is nerfed in some ports.
Chocolate-Strife seems to lack the looking/aiming up/down of vanilla strife1.exe.
This is how it works in vanilla strife1.exe:
11/24/95 Dm2conv by Vincenzo Alcamo (idgames) - must run in dosbox
3/07/24 My new default.rsp for it in Strango5 and gokweap* zips
Needs my new default.rsp and you should read my txt file.
Command line to convert Doom to Strife:
dm2conv whatever.wad convertd.wad @:DS
or
dm2conv whatever.wad convertd.wad @:DS /REMAP=2
to start maps on Strife's startmap 02.
7/26/07 GLBSP by Andrew Apted (GL nodes are required for Veteran's Edition)
Command line to add GL nodes after each map to a wad:
glbsp old.wad -o new.wad
12/28/14 DLight - additional sector lighting utility for Veteran's Edition (Github) (DW thread) (Steam)
Can only process one map at a time.
8/14/03 lamasery.zip - Silenced Lamasery v1.1, replaces map01
The first custom map ever released for Strife and has a replacement two player demo recorded with strife1.exe v1.31.
v1.3 recommended for watching a demo file so you can change view with F12.
It has since been updated and expanded in Strango5.wad for Strife, Twango1.wad for Doom 2, D1EntHng.wad for Doom 1, and QuikHt*.wad for Heretic.
12/19/19 winnow.zip - Hexen map01 Winnowing Hall converted to Strife, replaces map05
Map32 version in Strango5.wad is a little more updated.
But this version functions as a replacement map05 in normal single player Strife's progression.

Strife cheat codes for convenience in testing, but lame for playing new single player maps:
Also not shown and not editable in Sehacked:
Show Pumpup menu: PUMPUP, shows the little menu of options
Stats: PUMPUPS, gives 10 accuracy and 10 stamina
Show Coordinates: GPS, tells your position
Map cheat: TOPO, used on map screen, shows the entire level
The Strife Demo's cheats are different. Actually a few were left same as Doom.

Doom files
I recommend buying Doom Classic and Doom 2 from GOG.
They feature 4-player splitscreen co-op and deathmatch and various improvements. Then you also get the option to install the regular old dos versions and you
can use their wad files for various modern source ports. Odamex, Eternity, and maybe some others replicate their gameplay so closely they can play their demos properly.
