You'll notice my interest in getting Maximus properly running under Linux
is to move the BBS from an OS/2 (Warp 4, previously Warp 3) based system to
a Linux based system.  Yes, I have also (previously) run the BBS under
Desqview and plain MS-DOS.....  I have avoided the migration to Windows
here for the BBS.....  But for those that want it, once we have stuff
running under Linux, I would expect a few to help get the code to compile
under OS/2 and/or a Win32 environment.....

Take care......
