    I'm restoring my PSTN BBS after 20 years of downtime :) What is the
    latest version of Blue Wave mail door for
    Maximus/2 3.01 (OS/2)? Where
    can I download it?
    Google for it. There's probably a copy out there somewhere.
    But George is, sadly, long dead, so the latest version
    is going to be over 20
    years old and there's no way to register it. (Not sure
    if the door needs to be
    registered.)

    Using Google, I realized that I need version 3.19 or 3.20, the file name is most likely BWMX319B.ZIP but I can't find it anywhere.

    But today I saw a working Blue Wave mail door on ne of the BBS at 2:5020 (see pyramid bbs at nodelist). I will try to contact the SysOp of this BBS and find out how it works for him.

    I have bw311max.zip and bw311mx2.zip here dated 1995, and bw320max.zip dated 1996.

    They are available here on the BBS or ftp site.

    Yes!!! On your BBS I found everything I need! I have already installed it
    and starting testing. The bw320max.zip archive has a version for DOS and
    OS/2 for Maximus BBS v3.0 and later, the bw311max.zip and bw311mx2.zip archives are suitable for Maximus BBS v2.0.
    The archives bw_y2k.zip and bw_y2k2.zip contain Y2K fixes.

    This is great! Thank you for saving these archives to this day!

    Good stuff. I hope they will do what you need them to do.

    I did run Maximus back around the release of v3.01 under OS/2 so I keep those files around in case I ever want to go back and have a look.
