Have you tried:
 - DosBox?
 - A bootable disk from http://www.bootdisk.com/

>Nobody dare mention Winquake or Glquake again -- How do I INSTALL?

That sounds like you have a very old version of Quake (e.g. 1.01).  Once
you manage to get it installed, burn the files to a CD or other permanent
media, along with the 1.06 patch.  (Ignore the 1.08 patch unless you have
the expansion.)
