Quake maps.  They introduce Qoole's user interface as well as
general Quake map editing topics.  These videos provide a very good

The video tutorials however do not cover the detailed topics
such as map compilation errors.  For these questions, please refer
to the QBSP problem listing from QuakeLab, the Unofficial Quake Map Spec,
the Quake editing newsgroups, and the Qoole mailing list that are on
the Qoole CDROM.

Many thanks to Stephen Kleckner, who did a wonderful job with the tutorial
narration, and never once complained about all the recording retakes that
I kept messing up.

And many thanks to Kirk Yokomizo, whose computer I "volunteered"
to be used for the tutorial recording over a period of 2 months.
The brief spec for the computer was:
  Pentium Pro 200 CPU,
  64 megs EDO ram,
  Adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller,
  SCSI 1.7 gig HD,
  IDE 3.2 gig HD,
  Number 9 GXE 64 pro video card,
  NEC xe17 Monitor,
  4x Toshiba cdrom drive,
  Sound Blaster AWE 32,
  EX-413 Electret Condencer Microphone by AZDEN,
  Windows 95.

The videos were recorded in 640x480 resolution with modification
to Qoole's source code to dump screenshots at 10 frames per second.
The audio tracks were recorded at 22 KHz 16 bits/mono.  The software
programs used in producing these .avi's include LViewPro, Twotrak,
Main Actor and DDClip Lite.
