subject: Bug Report: Squish Dupe Checker Broken

BJ> I know I've seen Bo report on this before, but I

From memory, I believe Scott released a beta version of Squish after the
Y2K features that I didn't like -- possibly related to dupe handling.  So,
there may be a more generic issue.....  And I may just need to kill off the
dupe files and let them start again to solve the problem.....  Time will
tell....  [Ok, now to go look up which *.sq? file needs to be deleted for
testing this theory....]

I figured I needed to find the stty documentation and write a shell script
for starting Max in console mode.  I already do this for OS/2, but haven't
done it for Linux yet.  Once done, with the sttty issues fixed, that should
take care of that problem....

Take care.....
