Wes:

While the following may be an issue at some point, Adding the logical links
isn't making any difference at this point in time....

Oh, well....

Take care.....

 BJ> Wes:

 BJ> Because you burried stuff in /var/max/etc while pointing maximus to 
 BJ> /var/max as the route, there are a number of items not 
 BJ> found when using the default configureation.  For example, I just 
 BJ> reviewed the default bulletin.mec file found in 
 BJ> /var/max/etc/misc.  The welcome.mec (.bbs) file is 
 BJ> found because max.ctl was changed to etc/misc/welcome 
 BJ> for a location (which pre-pends /var/max/ to that file name / path).  
 BJ> Unfortunately, bulletin.mex includes the files (via 
 BJ> [Link] lines) Misc\BulHdr, Misc\Bul_Next and 
 BJ> Misc\mailchek .  I'm still needing to dig where the 
 BJ> bulletin stuff in defined, but under the OS/2 and DOS 
 BJ> (and assumed Win32) MAX, the misc directory is one 
 BJ> level up in the directory tree, along with some other 
 BJ> directories (such as help and mex stuff).  I'm going to 
 BJ> try to set some links in /var/max to point to stuff in 
 BJ> /var/max/etc and see if it solves some problems.  Maybe 
 BJ> this will clear a few things up....

 BJ> Take care.....
