It sounds like they're at least back to their original terms, anyway. Before they shut down the other unix ports, the deal was that if you sent them a full configured machine with reasonable amounts of disk space and memory, they'd do the port. Anyone who's into this want to send iD a box? I've none to spare myself, at the moment, nor do I think of quake as quite the kind of priority to which I would devote one if I had. :-) Jordan > > Fingering John Carmack at id (johnc@idsoftware.com) gives the following - > > > > On since Jan 6 14:59:09 5 days 19 hours Idle Time > on ttyp2 from idcarmack > On since Jan 12 21:58:30 10 days Idle Time > on ttyp3 from idcarmack > Plan: > Ok, off the soapbox and back to normal id stuff... > ============================ > Jan 12 > We now have someone officially in charge of quake/quakeworld unix ports: > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > Dave 'Zoid' Kirsch. > zoid@threewave.com > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > Direct any correspondance about the linux ports of quake to him.
