I think a first version will be available for beta-testers only in
1-2 days (we have still thursday :).

No. The sources will be released on Aminet, together with the first
official Quake/QW release. Not earlier.

Most definitely. Quake is mainly compiled with vbcc. Steffen makes
sure that StormC works too. We hope to support other compilers as

It will take some more days, I think. Thomas Frieden is very busy.
But better ask him yourself.

Quite understandable. I played my first Amiga-QuakeWorld match on
the internet yesterday, after I found the mapcheck-bug (a bug in
QW itself, because they never tested it on big-endian machines). QW

ping rates.
