Reality Check.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This program does do the above.  The idea of a fractal landscape in Quake 
is an appealing prospect, but in reality the number of brushes and faces is 
prohibitive.  So don't go expecting to be running around VistaPro 
landscapes quite yet :^)
The size of the landscapes that are QBSP'ble in a reasonable amount of time 
should be enough to keep you going for some time though.

your modifications to FraQauke freely and publicly available with FULL 
SOURCE CODE to the modified portions of FraQuake and must freely distribute
