Good, excellent! :)  BTW- I discovered that installing XP SP2 installed 
its crap version of opengl32.dll.  Apparently everywhere it occurred. 
To get GLQuake and GLQuakeWorld working again, I simply took my updated 
vid drivers version from system32 and copied it to my Quake folder. 
That now works fine.  I'm glad.  I had been missing my little monster 
buddies ;)  And I did NOT like eQuake/FUH Quake for single player at 
all.  Have you tried the grapple hook yet?
