Hi Alan,

 AI> Now I have some time I thought I'd have another look at it and see if
 AI> I can get it going.

I suspect I will not be able to help much as I have not looked at the source at all.

 AI> Max is a dos program though, 

No, Max V1 was definately OS/2 with DOS modules added in, and Max 2 & 3
are of a similar model. 

 AI> and I think that is where the difficulty
 AI> is. Linux is just too different to get these sources working. 

Yes there is a lot of work required to embrace the unix programming model
from something based on OS/2 (which was modelled off DOS to a certain
extent), but it should be no harder than porting something the other way
around either. I see the main issues as relating to the interface to the OS
itself, as they have quite different methodologies.

 AI> That's my suspicion anyway. If I was a programmer I'd have a look
and  AI> see if it could be done but it's all greek to me.. :)

I don't think greek and C mix well............;-)

Cheers............pk.
