With few programmers available to work on the project, working for free and
on their own time, I am greatful for the development done so far on
Maximus. I can see how a big job like this would need to have some things
higher priority than others.  Mark me down as someone who is interested in
DOS doors on linux Maximus.  Without doors, I wouldn't have many users (not
like I have that many to begin with) and there would be no point keeping
the bbs running. 

 BJ> Care to help with development?

I wish I could, but I'm not a C programmer.  I'm one of those java guys :/


Thanks,
Ryan
