Nice try, not remotely correct.  They didn't create FH? for
nothing (set the maximum number of file handles under OS/2).
I can send you my entire LOCSYSOP messagebase if you want to 
wade through all the problems.  I'm not interested myself.  
It's 8 meg uncompressed, so presumably that will be 3 meg 
compressed.  It's my longest running uncorrupt area (LOCUSER
got corrupted many times thanks to SQFIX32P being a disaster.
I don't have the source code to it either.

[later] actually, I had a check.  The file handle problem was
causing personal.ndx to not get created, even though I was
using maxfh or whatever, it wasn't good enough.  The use of
TZ was not documented, it kept on beeping at me whenever my
modem screwed up, I had to resort to sticky-taping up my 
speaker [incidentally, my speaker is disconnected completely
these days].  And I got a trap-e sometimes, which didn't help
when I went on holiday!  Also, there was indeed times when
people would lose their lastread pointers and had to reset
them themselves.  I actually abandoned the BBS completely
when squish kept on abending (admittedly that was not maximus,
I had a swag of problems with Squish too).  The reason for
squish abending on that fatal day was that I had set my # of
dupes to 0, but I didn't remember that, but squish obviously
didn't like it.  I switched to Tobruk at that stage, because
at least I had the source code to do something about it.
However there were bugs in it too, and I figured out the
squish problem before I had fixed the bugs in tobruk, and I
have never gone live with Tobruk because it doesn't handle
out-of-spec messages properly and I haven't gotten around
to fixing it.

DD> Oh, what about the ones in MSGED 3.1a?

I can do something about any MSGED 3.1a bug that I am
experiencing.  I can't with Maximus though.  I can with
Binkley.  Squish is the weak link.  BFN.  Paul.
