Introduction
------------

One has to admit that the crosshair included with Quake is not well suited
to its purpose. It is a large, blocky white mass which distracts you and
obstructs your vision. This patch changes the regular hacked-in plus-sign
crosshair into a thin red cross. It offers minimal distraction, but maximum
visibility and accuracy. It is also a lot more pleasing to the eye. This
patch is VERY easy to install. You will be up and running in SECONDS. 

Please note that this patch does not alter any of your Quake files. 
It merely adds a file called GFX.WAD to your quake\qw directory.


Installation
------------

1. Un-zip this archive into a temporary directory. 

2. Take the GFX.WAD file which you have just un-zipped, and move it
   into your quake\qw directory. For example, if your quake directory
   is c:\games\quake , you should move the file GFX.WAD into the directory
   c:\games\quake\qw .

3. Fire up QuakeWorld and test out your awesome new crosshair!


There is one minor side-effect. If you type a plus sign in the console,
it will look like the red crosshair. But who cares about that?


Un-Installation
---------------

Upon the rare occasion that you want to revert back to the original
white crosshair, all you need to do is to delete the GFX.WAD file from
your quake\qw directory.
