That would be typical, wouldn't it...

Bear in mind that iD dumped Watcom (in DooM) to use DJGPP in Quake, which is
only meant to run on a Pentium. The only reason that they would do this is
that DJGPP is better, I mean they'd already paid for Watcom, so they
wouldn't care about DJGPP being free... and it isn't like the money would
matter to them anymore anyway :)
