|
or later system, even if neither DirectX nor VESA VBE is available.
|
and operating-system support for game functionality are not yet mature
|
components. If you encounter what seems to be a bug, first please

| Installing and running QWCL |
|
In order to run QWCL, you must first have Quake installed.
|
unzip the QWCL zip file into c:\quake. The following files

wdirnop.com
