Exactly the case.  If someone has a reproducable problem -directly
pertaining- to Maximus or Squish, it's welcome in the MUFFIN and TUB echos.
Discussion about "Y2K" in general, or about other programs, or just
suggestions, rumors, or such other junk are NOT welcome.

 SD> two years.
And besides this, if there's a problem, it's in the QWK specs.  I'm sure if
they come up with a revised spec, you can easily implement it in Max.
Beyond that, "QWK-2k" wouldn't be a topic here either.
I think were pretty much in sync on what's topical and what's not regarding
this.  :-)
