Yes, I already have both the max-3.03*tar.gz files, and the cvs download, 
BBBS is a good package but uses a proprietry msgbase, with "NO" sysops 
msgbase reader, such as TimEd, MsgEd or GoldEd, and the means used/provided 
to read the msgbase do not appeal to me in the least. MBSE BBS is a very nice 
package indeed.

The Husky project utilities where under discussion, and all they lack is a 
BBS for user interaction, with Maximus, which I have yet to compile, and the 
Husky projects utilities one has a nice BBS setup, possible.

One I would dearly have loved to see as a possiblity, that it now has, 2 - 
2-1/2 years ago, when I moved the BBS over to Linux. :-))
