QStat 2.0a and Quake II - Two great tastes that taste great together!

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

- Support for Quake II servers, see documentation for usage.

- Minor fix to connect time formatting.

I don't have Quake II, but the status protocol is very similar to

QuakeWorld, so I was able to figure it out by poking existing Quake II

servers on the net. Id has stated that the network protocol will

get an upgrade soon after the in-store release. As always, QStat

will track these changes as they become available.

QStat is a command-line program that displays the status of Internet

Quake servers. Many web pages and non-Windows server browsers

use it to collect server status information.
