Simply stated, this program will help you to configure and launch a
dedicated server for Quake 3 Arena. The interface makes changing
settings and options very simple. You no longer need to edit config
files.
This program has not been tested on Windows NT. I would like to hear
from anyone that is using it on an NT platform.
