$newsItem='<P>John Carmack has released the QuakeC code under the GPL, he will be putting up copies of these with the GPL notice on them on the official site which I\'m sure he\'ll announce publically soon. <P>Developers can now get win32 binaries of Quakeforge compiled with Borland C++ instead of MSVC available from <a href="http://personal.inet.fi/cool/quake1/">here</a> and a mirror of snapshot 03/05/00 can be found <a href="ftp://quake.sourceforge.net/pub/quake/files/qf-win32-borl.zip">here</a> (679KB).<P>To members: Don\'t edit other member\'s news items, even if they are wrong, tell them about it and let them fix it or write a NEW news item under your own name clarifying things.<P>Thanks to Creative Labs for donating sound cards to the team. I\'ll be sending them out to team members Monday, sorry for the delay, time does me no favor. I\'d send it tomorrow but I\'ll be at a 2600 conference.';
$newsItem='<P>QuakeForge is planning to integrate <a href="http://www.openal.org/">OpenAL</a> support as optional for those who want it. I\'ve asked John Carmack to consider releasing some of the Quake tools under the GPL. Most of the development crew at QuakeForge consider the quake-devel mailing list the official medium of discussion. Subscribing to this list will get you more in touch with QuakeForge and what we\'re up to, developers should use quake-devel and not the web forums. The research center is now officially up, you can enter it on the side-bar menu or go <a href="research/index.php">here.</a>';
$newsItem='<P>A lot of people prefer web forums to mailing lists. SourceForge offers them, but they\'re not very friendly to use. Red Fox, the guy running the <A HREF="http://www.netfrag.com/megaboard">Netfrag Zap UBB board</A> has graciously offered us a forum which is much easier to use. The URL is a long CGI script, so there\'s a shortcut at <A HREF="http://quakeforge.net/board/">http://quakeforge.net/board/</A> to save typing.';
$newsItem='<P>Fully working support for Mega2k\'s airscout and view height adjustments have been committed. We\'re also gearing up for a release of 0.2.0 as soon as several critical bugs are found and squashed. Please <A HREF="mailto:quake-devel@lists.sourceforge.net">send us</A> info on any major bugs as well as how to reproduce them.';
$newsItem='<P>A new <A href="http://quake.sourceforge.net/progress.php">State of the Code</A> address has been posted containing important information about support for MegaTF\'s upcoming Mega2k release. If you play MegaTF it is highly recommended that you read this less technical than usual SotC. Even if you don\'t play it, you probably should have a look. <EM>UPDATE: There\'s new info there, check it out</EM>';
