Not for a long time, unless you are willing to help with development.  At
this point in time the only active developers for Maximus / Squish are
compiling in a Unix / Linux environment.  Personally, I would also like to
eventually get the code compiling again under OS/2, which, if I successed
with using Open Watcom, might allow DOS and Win32 compiles to occure.... 
But I may end up using the EMX port of GCC for OS/2....  which doesn't help
DOS users....

To date, I believe there is only one or two fixes we have made to squish /
Unix / Linux that could be rolled back to the DOS / Win32 / OS/2 version,
but are rather minor.  [The one fix that comes to mind is the fix for the
format of one of the kludge lines squish generates to use the current
standard.]  

While we have been trying to keep the code so that it can be re-compiled
for DOS / Win32 / OS/2 platforms, none of the current development team has
Scott's development environment re-created, so we have yet to be able to
recompile the code for the DOS / Win32 / OS/2 platforms.  

Can you help in this area?

Thanks.
