I'm trying to determine how I can get the retail version of Quake running on dos. There are images of the shareware discs easily available on archive.org, but I have not been able to find any images of the retail cd. The gog quake release would appear to contain winquake, based on this post: Re: Phil's "Playing GOG.com games on your MS-DOS Gaming PC" Thread:

With GOG's Quake release, make sure to check out the GOG forum, they stuffed up the time codes by 2 seconds, but that's easy to fix, just copy and paste the fixed cue sheet.

The main CD is a retail copy of Win Quake, works great. I usually install GLQuake too.

There *is* a version of the cd that contains the retail version and runs on dos, right? how would I go about finding that?

Of course there is and it can be found easily, but not here (read the rules).
The GOG release includes a DOS copy AFAIK.

ah, my apologies.

I can't seem to figure out how to delete a post, but presumably the mods can, if nothing else.
