procedures.

*ABOUT THE PRODUCT: 
     Qasc is a program designed to make use of ascii charactors that show up 
as funky symbols in Quake. Conventional methods of doing this requires lots 
of time spent on testing and comparing results in Quake and text editors, 
which may be very time consuming. Because of this, Qasc was created. It makes 
things a lot easier. 

*FUNCTIONS: 
     Qasc provides: ascii nickname formation, the forming of nicknames 
containing ascii charactors; nickname animation, The animating of nicknames; 
flood sign formation, the forming of large signs that can be displayed on the 
top of the screen during gameplay; script editing, the creating and editing 
of Quake scripts. Most of these are automated, thus saving lots of your time. 

*RELEASE NOTES: 
     Current version is 1.21. Finished on April 2, 1997. First public 
release. 

*TECHNICAL:
     Some problems such as missing dlls and ocxs may occur due to the lack of 
testing of this program on foreign platforms. If you happen to get these 
errors running Qasc, please send a brief description of it via e-mail to the 
address mentioned in the "FEEDBACK" section of this readme. So I can fix it 
in my next release.

They've also worked on the first pages that advertised Qasc, which I 
appreciate very much. In addition to that, I want to thank id, for creating 
such a wonderful game. Support id, buy their products, so they make more 
money, and hire more people, thus create blockbuster games more frequently.
