I wouldn't normally be so persistant and uneloquent about it, but this
question has been asked many many times by people and not one single
person ever reads one of the questions properly and so everyone harps
on about WinQuake and such -- I thought putting "INSTALL" in capitals
in the original post would be enough, but someone still said "Use
WinQuake".

Thanks for your answers elsewhere in the thread, btw.
