[lgfaq] lgfaq/UT (fwd)

[Chunky Kibbles]

Just as an aside, I don't like that one very much [I updated the one
on the lgfaq a while ago] - you want to use the second bit something
like

mv *.unr ../Maps
cd ../Maps

for f in *.unr
do
  rm $f.uz
done

If you wish to post this to relieve any frustrated Linux "original" UT (potential) gamers, please feel free to do so.  It does take a while to run since there are alot of maps included in the Infogrames version of UT.
