- QuARC v0.2 - Release Notes
- --------------------------
- This win95 program allows you to administrate a quake server remotely.
- The target server must be running win95. You start the server using
- quarc.exe then connect to it remotely also using quarc.exe.
-
- This release is mainly a bug-fix and general tidy up. Since the original
- code was written over the space of 8 hours or so in the middle of the night,
- the cold light of day revealed to me some of the travesties of programming
- I had enacted :) This major rewrite should fix some of the bugs.
-
- Also added in this release is the ability to connect/disconnect multiple
- times, an even multiple clients simultaneously. In the works are security
- and a bunch of other stuff.
-
- This program should still be considered beta and dangerous!

- QuARC v0.1 - Release Notes
- --------------------------
-
- After much effort, I've finally managed to put together a remote console
- application for Quake. It runs on Windows 95 only, and uses Win95 TCP/IP,
- although I guess another stack would work too.
-
- This program is currently rather kludgy. There are a couple of known issues
- listed below. It does, however, seem to work. That's good enuf for me :)
-
- To install: unzip the whole lot into your quake directory. You'll probably
- want to move the .dll files to your windows/system directory. Make any mods
- to your start up command line in q2.bat, then run quarc.exe - probably
- easiest from the command line. If you run it from an icon be sure to set
- the working directory to your quake directory.
-
- There are plenty of bugs to work out - it may well crash your system
- mercilessly - but I wanted to get it out there as quick as I could as I
- know that I've been ready to kill for this myself. Good luck - use at your
- own risk - etc. etc.
-
- Plans are in the works to add much more functionality, such as scroll-back/
- list box history, password security, and lots of things I'm sure you'll let
- me know about. For now, here are the options....
-
- quarc [-p<port>] [-s<server>]
-
- with no options, it runs in server mode on port 1666.
- with -s it will try to connect to the given server.
- with -p it will select a different port (make sure you use the same port
- on your client and server) - this can function as a _very_ loose form of
- security.
-
- command line mistakes will be punishable by death of your machine ;-)
-
-
- IMPORTANT
- ---------
- One major problem, when you launch the server, you MUST switch to the
- "command" dos box and press a key. If you don't, quake refuses to accept
- redirected commands. This is the only reason I've let you even _see_ the
- proxy dos box.
-
-
-
- I will try to answer problems by mail, but no promises. I have a life :)
-
- Have fun, and happy Quakein'...
