Nothing so amazing. The qtest1.zip contains a few sample WAD's (except 
they're not called WAD's anymore), the executable, a copy of CWSDPMI, and 
loads of disclaimers. No source, etc. And I got it by using a DOS-based 
ftp (FTP Software) so no need to mangle floppies... it's not really great 
though. The sound didn't work (I didn't really try to get it running 
nice) and I kept getting crashes -- the by-now-familiar CWSDPMI register 
dump!  8(
