That's wrong. The dos version does have the support, but in order for it to
work you have to launch it through the qlaunch program with the correct
command line parameters, and it comes with a batch file (q95.bat) to help
make that easier. I used to play the dos version over the internet all the
time until they made an opengl version for windows.
