That's an interesting point. I always thought about so different games beside
Q3A, that all sources would be useless anyway but RTCW is almost Q3A. Now
I'm really confused...

But I did. I corrected a bit in the Makefile to create working game.(bat|q3asm)
and game_ta.(bat|q3asm) files.

Native code can replay plain text and gzip compressed files.
QVM code can replay plain text and crashes Q3A with sig 11 on gzip compressed
files. I'll think about it.

QVM code seems a bit sluggish now, that we have
fbReadChar -> fbGrow -> gzread -> fread -> odfread -> trap_FS_Read
(OK fread and odfread are one (macro)). It feeled much more jerky, than before.
Would it help, if we make the gzip stuff optional (at compile time, with
macros)?

Bye, Uwe
