Erm...which GLQuake are you using btw?
There are 2 versions... 6.1 and 6.2

6.1 requires >NIL: to be added at the end or else it hangs, 6.2 doesnt
(but I still do it anyway) and both versions need a stack setting of
at least 500,000 iirc.

To set the width/height use the -width -height command line parameters
:) TBH, I've never used a launcher with it....use the shell like every
other man (and woman) heh

I have a script set up to launch mine meerely does the following:

Stack 1500000
GLQuakeWOS -width 480 -height 384 >NIL:

Also, with regards to your quake.demon problem :) You're entering the
server name in the wring area...I believe youre trying to type the
server name in the HOSTNAME field in the PLAYER SETUP :)

What you want, is to type "quake.demon.co.uk" in the server field in
the JOIN A GAME menu after you've set up your player details.

Also, you have to have your TCP/IP stack running before you start
quake, otherwise it thinks you have no communications port open and
wont even let you enter the JOIN A GAME/HOST A GAME menus.

Hopefully that will help you get playing online :)

Cya
Steven.
