Quake is really good for it's graphics and hell does it bring the souls
of some doomers.  I really didn't believe that a so good game could be
written Using DJGPP.  That's why I want to get a shot at
DJGPP(Originaly I thought no free compiler is good and have to buy the
expensive Watcom C/C++ development kit).  I found it pretty impressive
aside from the bugs(If it's power you are looking for and not Total
perfect bug free, go for DJGPP).
