Actually, there are two others that have done more to get Max running under
Linux than I have.  I do have a test node running, but it's been a while
since I compiled the code successfully.  [I've upgraded the Linx box OS
atleast twice since I last compiled the code.]

At this time, I don't have time to work on it, and due to a prior contract
don't want to touch the code till after June 23, 2007.  Some parts are
working.  Some parts are not working on my system....

Would you like to help with getting Maximus properly running under Linux? 
Or get the CVS to support current public compilers for building OS/2, Win32
or DOS based versions?  If you need access to update the CVS archives on
SourceForge, I have permission to add developers to the project. 
[Hmmmm....  I may have to dig out some old info to do that....]

Take care....
