The accompanying zip prun3214.zip contains a Shareware Quake Patch Runner.  
The author David Lenk (me) assures that the contents of these two files are virus free. 

I think that this set should be placed into the frontends section or mabye the utils section.
but I have no descretion.


Thanks for taking your time to review these files.

		        3.  Background



1.	Prun32 has an easy to learn point and click interface.  The interface was designed
	for even the most computer iliterate to use, (pardon the exxpression).  

	In order for the program to function properly it needs to be placed in the Quake folder,
	this is so it can 'shell' your selections and run quake.  Prun32 needs Visual Basic 
	32bit runtime module vb40032.dll, Prun32 is a native Win32 application and may not 
	function properly when run under Win 3.1 with Win32 or other 32bit operating systems.
	
	If you require a 16bit Windows or Dos version I also Programm Prun.exe a text based
	version, (posibly better then the win32 version, well not really) this 16bit version
	is very straight forward and should be very easy to use, it is very flexible and can
	be customized.

2.	Registration information is provided in the program (Prun32).  This Program is NOT
	crippled in ANY way!  Registration is only $5 (US funds only, no checks) 
	Registration will remove register remarks thoughout the program.

3.	This Program is Shareware, not freeware or Public Domain.
 
	As of now this program is provided as shareware, at any time I hold the 
	right to change the amount of the registration fee, obviously not a whole lot because 
	of the scope of the program, but I need to be compensated for my efforts.
	As of now the Fee is $5 (US funds only, no checks).

	I enjoy playing Quake but I dislike typing gobs of text at a dos prompt 
	just to get my game started, being an avid programmer I took it upon 
	myself to create a patch runner, at first the program was more anoying 
	then usfull (being written in Qbasic and all) so I revamped the UI and 
	recompiled it.  This new version was still dos  bassed but is possibly my 
	best version yet.  I brought it to school and it was a hit.  Still I perspired 
	to make it better, so I purchased Visual Basic 4.0 and started porting it, 
	the results were terible.  I didn't know square one about VB but I 
	continued to learn, slowly I got better and more confident that I could 
	finnish.  first I designed the GUI, after 3 or 4 different GUI designs I 
	settled for the current one,  coded all procedures and fin tuned the bugs 
	out.  Only problem is that I couldn't figure out how to call external 
	programms (shell), this passed soon and I finaly finnished the first version 
	v1.02 (not released).  I am continually working at perfecting something or 
	another on at least one project so that I may better help out others including myself. 
	
	As of the writting of this ReadMe (1:20 AM 7/23/97) the current version is 1.4b2.
