Wait until Quake is out. : Judging by Quake specs and screenshots it has to be slow on average PC (I : mean something about 486DX2/66). So don't speak too soon. There's another way you shouldn't overestimate iD - don't credit them for something they didn't do. They didn't create Wolfenstein, that was Apogee. Doom is a quantum leap over Wolf3D. *** Peter Shackleton (psh...@sans.vuw.ac.nz) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND "What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? Who knows? Who cares?" ***
