USAGE
-----

QStat 2.2b or 2.3[cd] is required.  It must be in your $PATH.
QStat home page is http://www.activesw.com/people/steve/qstat.html

QStat 2.3 requires -DQSTAT23 option to be used in compile time.
Do not enable it if you plan to use XQF with QStat2.2

XQF requires GNU Wget to retrieve server listings from the Web.
Wget download location is ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/

Server list navigation:
 - Left double-click launches game on selected server.
 - Right click pops up server option menu.
 - Middle click selects one server and refreshes its information.

Right now XQF has built-in list of master servers, no way to change 
it without recompilation.  It will be changed soon.

XQF can be customized via GTK's rc files.  XQF parses files
/etc/gtkrc, $HOME/.gtkrc, $HOME/.qf/gtkrc.
