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".
