Sorry, I suppose it is version 4. It does Quake2 maps natively. I have only 
a few things I like in Qradiant over QuakeED. Mainly the fact that it runs 
in Windows98, and uses a one window approach, but CTRL+TABing to other views 
is very usefull. I think most people had problems with the system 
requirements for the most part(QuakeED had to run on NT with a 3 button 
mouse). I've always used 3 button mice, so that part was fine. I believe the 
Mac Version is well on it's way, and someone could make it work well on 
MacOS 9 in a short period of time. It's already far more usable than Quiver  
on the geometry creation side.
