Hello Mark,

 MMD>     I have   checked my nightly CVS compiles of the Linux
 MMD> maximus and it can't find two entries which I am going to
 MMD> ask about in muffin.

When I first started trying out the cvs versions of Maximus I got errors
because it needs the libncurses-DEV* headers that I didn't have installed.
Make would give errors that didn't say anything about ncurses but since I
installed them I haven't had any problems. ATM Max is compilling quite well
not even giving many warnings.

I don't know if that's what's happening there but it solved my problems. I
can just cvs up maximus now to get the latest fixes and build again.

 MMD> If they fix those mites, I might be able to run maximus on
 MMD> linux after all.

 ml> good luck! i know that bo has really been working on the telnet stuff...

Yes, he's been hard at it, he's got mex working now.. :) Max's future is
looking good.

 ml> if it were me, though... i'd just get (at least) OS/2 
 ml> Warp 3 Connect installed, ray gwinn's SIO package 
 ml> (v1.60d), and the OS/2 version of max and do it that 
 ml> way... that works and has worked for many... the *nix 
 ml> stuff is still very beta and unproven...

Me too.. :) Linux is a lot like OS/2 (but different!) with a more powerfull shell.

 ml> [disclaimer: i've only ever seen max from the user's 
 ml> side... even though i'm compiling it and reporting 
 ml> errors, i've never run it... i've been runnint 
 ml> RemoteAccess ever since RA v0.04 was released some 14 
 ml> or so years ago...]

I ran RA from around 94-96, when I took the OS/2 plunge I switched to
Maximus/2. I had the non-networked version though so I never had the telnet
setup you did. Those were the days.. :))

 Ttyl :-),
