Funny you mention Corel Draw, my father still lives by that program. He never really wanted to learn newer programs, so he still uses Corel Draw 6 and Cool Edit Pro.

Glad that I have you to notice that stuff and help give suggestions, it would be a lot rougher if I was on my own here. Not sure I could get much drive. The potential for the server really is one of the big reasons I like doing things nowadays.

You know, that is perhaps a possibility, and would explain why Q2 was so cheaply made. It was a team determined to make the ultimate Quake pack. But then Quake came out and it turned out you couldn't convert the files, rendering all their work useless. They tried to start again, but quickly realized that Quake II was on the horizon, and they realized they didn't have a choice if they wanted to get it done before that happened. It was a curse of deadlines. Wouldn't surprise me, since that was a serious issue for these packs, racing for the holiday season since Quake II was already being advertised.

Not really, Tower of Death was made months before Aftershock. It could be name coincidence, but who knows, maybe they planned to include it before deciding not to.

I can't wait to reach some more modern era where things actually work in Windows natively so I don't need to deal with frustrating emulators and DOSBox. I can imagine the annoyance of needing to load up a VM just to play a single Quake mod, say Pipebomb mod #112.

That is all you can really do. Difficulty with cats is that there are so many, start taking pity and taking them in, you become a mad cat lady.
