Qstat 1.4 has been released.

New features include support for Linux 2.0, flags to set retry timeout

and interval, and a flag to limit output to running or not full

servers.

I fixed a bug that caused qstat to have a long delay the first time it

was run on Windows 95/NT.

Tested on Solaris 2.4, Solaris 2.5, Irix 5.3, Linux 2.0, Windows 95,

and NT.

You can get the package via the qstat web page at

http://www.activesw.com/people/steve/qstat.html

or via ftp from

ftp.activesw.com:/pub/quake

Qstat 2.0 will be able to run as a server status proxy. Put the

proxy on your machine or local net and it will give you a server

list within Quake (via slist).

After the proxy work I'll try doing a meta-server.

(Oh, and the Quake shareware network protocol includes support

for more status information such as players and frags. Qstat will

display this info once id releases the protocol documentation.)
