Bo:

I'll be sending a private e-mail later tonight to Pete, with a cc: to
Scott, Wes and you (via source forge e-mail address). I think I'm down to
just getting Pete's final blessing to check in the SqaFix code into the
Maximus sourceforge project.  

I think from what I've now seen that all the files we need to compile and
execute the code can now be placed under a GPL license.  I've been working
on the configuration issues.  I've modified my copy of Max's main make file
to include building sqafix.  And I'm close to having the needed SqaFix
configuration files included in the install process.    I'll be sending you
an updated .zip file after I send out the e-mail.  I'll be testing squish's
file forwarding with this, so please let me know that you get the file ok.

With SqaFix running under Linux, we're one step closer to what I want to
see running before I can switch my hub from OS/2 to running under Linux.

It would also be nice to see if some folks would pop up and volunteer to
help get the ported code compiling again under OS/2, Win32 and possibly
even DOS based systems.  Because SqaFix was calling some propriatry code
(for DOS based environments), the GPL'ed source won't properly compile
under OS/2, Win32 or DOS until we get some additional modifications made,
which needs volunteers to help with those compliations.  I'm planning to
leave out of the checked in code any of the make stuff related to the old
setup since (a) we cann't test it (b) it will be broken by what we've had
to do to put the code under the GPL, and (c) I don't kmown exactly what
files are important for the other compiler environments.

Take care.....
