It's the old adage..."If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Unless and until I load a new DOS machine, there's no reason to update my existing machines. Plus, most times when I load a new DOS machine, I copy a lot of stuff from an existing DOS machine or an "install" CD...and that includes DOS and the QEMM software (along with a vanilla install of Windows 3.1).

As long as I have a Shrak thread, let me ask this question.
There is one point in the game where I need to make a jump. It's not a hard jump, but I cannot make it - I always come up short.
What I am wondering is...could this be at all related to the CPU (Cyrix 686) I am using? Is it possible the CPU could make a difference as how a game behaves in a situation like this?
I am trying to join a Quake forum, but it's taking forever to get activated.
Thanks...Joe

I got the answer to my question on a Quake forum. It is described in this article which I don't understand completely but I get the general meaning..

It seems Quake is sensitive to the processor as a faster processor will allow you to run faster and jump higher.

That's not how I read it.
It's based on FPS which is configurable in the game.

Frame rate is adjustable, a quick Google leads to:

Now you need to see how it's done in Shrak. Most games have an upper limit to the frame rate to take some of the load off the video card. 60 or 72 fps is common. Usually adjusted by editing a .ini file.
Thanks for that link. On the Quake forum, I need to ask how to adjust the frame rate. There's a lot I need to learn about Quake; setting up or changing variables is just one of them. I tried putting cl-maxfps into the CFG file but I got an "unknown command" message.
Thanks...Joe
I got the problem resolved thanks to the guys over on the Quakeone forum. Seems I needed to turn down the gravity setting so I could make that one jump...and maybe other places where the Cyrix just isn't fast enough.
