A small quick tip for Windows 95

This is in no way a tutorial and the quick tip forum says they should be security related and this isn't.

This is for people who miss the old days of your computer starting up in DOS instead of Windows. If you have an old box running Windows 95 because you're like me and miss your early days of computing and because Quake doesn't run in NT, well this is for you:

Edit the file C:MSDOS.SYS

BootGUI=1

Change it to:

BootGUI=0

You now have a machine that loads DOS first and you have to type win to start Windows. :)

glquake runs quite nice on my XP box ;)

GLQuake??? Is it the actual ID software version of it that runs? You got some links for me? Seriously dude I want to check this out I've wanted Quake 1 on my laptop for like a year now.

IIRC it's part of the QuakeWorld package.. I'll see if I can dig it up somewhere.. It's been a while..

Edit: Found it again.. Most of the old links were dead...

Shoot... You need to register to download :( I have those files on disk. I'll see if I can upload it here when I get home.

damn it's been a while since i last used win95, as there's not many programs that will work with it these days.. :(

wouldn't mind checking out the GlQuake info as well. could be interesting..

Fileplanet subscription is free, last I checked. If it's not, let me know, I think I have an account from back when it was, I'll see if it's still active, and if it is, maybe the login info will just slip out of my fingers and into a PM..

[edit: yup. My account's still there. It should be free to register..]
