19_udpat.exe does that.

http://www.gamers.org/pub/games/idgames/idstuff/doom/19_udpat.exe
this is a LHA archive with a binary patch in RTP format,

this software is still alive and updated to run on Linux and Android, but non-free,

http://www.pocketsoft.com/rtpatch_binary_diff_games.html
"The first PC Game user of RTPatch was id Software for DOOM"

one would eitheir need to call dosbox with a custom autoexec to 
automatically run provided patch.exe ; or reverse engineer it...
