1) I'm talking about the real C / asm source code to Quake.
2) No, I don't know where you can get it.  Yes, I have it.
3) For those who have the source, use these nifty steps to make it
using djgpp v2.00 or 2.01.  Also, there is a stupid error that gas
will complain about in d_copy.S.  It's really easy to fix (took me
about 30 secs to find and fix it).

THIS IS NOT THAT HARD!
here are the steps to take:
1) do a 'basic' (only filenames) directory of all the source files.
2) eliminate all the non-dos ones (mostly graphics and sys_* ones)
3) compile the .s files as .S (reason: gcc needs to run them thru C
pre-processor)
4) link.

I made a batch file that compiled & linked quake using these steps.
Took me about 1 hour.  For crying out loud, how hard can it be!
