INSTALLATION
------------
For this program to work properly, unzip LMCTFGUI.ZIP in your Quake 2 LMCTF (QUAKE2DIR\lmctf)
directory (Q2SERVICE.EXE MUST BE IN THIS DIRECTORY TO RUN PROPERLY). It should take up
approx. 200 Kb of disk space uncompressed. Q2SERVICE.EXE is the service executable for NT.
It should be started through the SCM (Service Control Manager) or through LMCTF Server GUI.
The MFC 4.2 run time DLL (MFC42.DLL) is also required, but since almost all Microsoft Windows
and NT have it installed already on their machines, I have not included it in the zip.
E-mail me (Peter Huene) if that is a problem, which it shouldn't be.

as a dedicated quake2 server.
