-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=----=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-==-=

Well.... here it is... my version of QLaunch (DOS only).
I created this program because I really wanted to have such a program but
I just couldn't get it... I've seen one on internet but could not ftp it.
So I decided to create my own... and here it is!

Features :  Qlaunch handles upto 2500 Quake C mods.
            Qlaunch has a nice description ability.
            Qlaunch searches dirs for PROGS.DAT and PAK0.PAK files.
            Qlaunch saves some settings. (nocdaudio, nojoystick and safe mode).
            Qlaunch is small. (about 13 kb).
            Qlaunch is fast.  (well... I think so).

To create descriptions go to the Quake C mod subdir and create a file called
PROGS.ID or even better rename the textfile that comes with almost every
Quake C mod and edit that one instead. Just remember that the lines cannot
exceed 60 characters and cannot be more than 18 lines long.

[][] DON'T compress Qlaunch (like pklite), it WILL SCREW things up.         [][][]

Future improvements:  Create support for the PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN, HOME and END
                      keys...
                      Edit descriptions within Qlaunch or call an external
                      editor to do the job.
                      Sorting of the directories.
                      Type the first few characters of a Quake C mod and
                      Qlaunch will automaticly bring you there.

Updates:
V0.9B
!  First NET release.
*  Qlaunch didn't pass a command line to quake.exe... fixed!
+  Wanted support for more Quake C dirs?  2500 enough? you got it.

V0.9A
+  Added support for upto 1000! Quake C mods.
*  fixed: when you got to the end of the menu and then back up the menu
          would scroll 1 choice to far down, thus creating an empty field.
          Fixed now.
-  Description format checking is working.
   if a textline exceeds 60 chars it will be indicated by 2 green stars, only
   the first 60 characters of that line will be shown.
*  Had a look at this txt file and deleted some spelling mistakes. (not all ;)

Qlaunch was created using Borland Pascal V7.0 running on a Pentium 166.

Thanks to:  ID Software for creating QUAKE.
            All Quake C programmers.. keep 'm coming.

Btw: ESC exits the menu at any time without launching Quake.
