This executes the "Qlaunch.EXE" file that game with quake, with the
following two files being a DLL file and the main Quake executable.  

"-mpath" tells quake that the user is using the UDP DLL file.

After that, the bat file simply passes other command line parameters to the
executable.  The batch file isn't very useful anymore, since Winquake (or
wqpro) already can run TCP/IP without any special drivers.

I suspect wqpro is looking for the files in the "twctf" directory as
opposed to the "CTF" subfolder.   If you rename "CTF" to "TWCTF", it might
work fine.

Alternativly, you can add "-game ctf" to the command line, or set the game
dir in the server console.
