Yes....

 RT> Let me know how this goes, okay?

I believe the sourceforge update won't help.  One from a week or so ago
didn't help it.  I need to review my comments back to Bo and Wes when they
originally set up their systems to see if I can find what I haven't done
that they have done, and see if I can pin down where this problem is.  If
we can pin it down, we can fix it.  It is probably something going haywire
in the MEX or mecca file processing.  The MEX VM is totally busted.  And I
think that some of the mecca files haven't gotten needed changes made
yet....  And in the back of my mind, it may be related to missing mecca
files or compiles in the original Max 3.0 or upgraded (3.01 and later) max
distributions on OS/2 (and the other platforms?  (DOS, Win32))....  I seem
to recall hiting something when I last loaded Max from scratch under
OS/2.....  It's one of those things you find, reconfigure, and forget about
because you do it once when you first bring the BBS up.....  But that's
just a guess of where I think the problem is.  I haven't brought over my
OS/2 mecca files to the Linux box yet for putting my local touches on
stuff.....  I suspect the hold up is in this area.....

Based on timing, I suspect something is timing out for a response, probably
on a processing a display (mecca based or ?) that isn't being displayed
correctly right now....


Take care.....
