 MDS> Hrmmm now you got me woundering.

my memory of this is ~10 old and it is hard to remember things from that
far back unless it is something that i spent a lot of time with... i can
see the message(s) from him in my mind's eye but can't get close enough to
actually read them for his name or the name of his package that was being
talked about :(

i don't know about that... maximus is still being developed... it is hosted
on sourceforge, nowadays... most of the development on it has been for
linux based systems... i've got it here on one of the linux boxes but have
problems getting it to compile... i have no idea if the dos or os/2 flavors
will compile or not...
