    I'm not a C Coder either. One of the things on my bucketlist. I have the current source. I'm going to see if I can get some of my programming friends take a look at it and see how hard would it be to 'fix'.

    I did a fresh checkout of the github maximus repo and tried to compile it again (same old code from 2005). 'make squish' does compile the squish tools without any modifications. There is an error when it tries to build the btree stuff, but AFAIK this is not needed for squish and can be ignored. Still no success with Maximus (the BBS).

    Greetings Alan!

    31 Aug 20 15:46, you wrote to Erich B. about an urgent matter!:

    Well you said you had problems getting MAX to work properly.

    That was under linux. Maximus still runs as always on the platforms it
    was originally built for DOS, OS/2 and Windows.

    I got it running just fine in OS2 I just couldnt get os2 to answer and pass telnet connections to Maximus unfortunately or I would run it for sure.
