Well, as you can see in another message here, I have Maximus running under
Debain 3.0r1 (Woody) in console mode, and running a bunch of processes
manually (like Squish and BinkP), but the basics are now configured and
working.  I'm still fighting enviornmental variables like you are.  I can
run with the current directory set to /var/max (the default setup in the
3.02b configuration), and specifying relative paths from there....  Not as
clean as I want before I let other users at the system.....  

I haven't put any file areas in yet, but I did take a few of my echo areas
(including this one) from my OS/2 setup and transfer the squish data files
to the Linux box and just run with them.  So, it looks like thw squish
database is properly being used.  I haven't taken my userdatabase over yet
to test that one....  But I expect any files handled in a binary manor will
just transfer.  Those handled in a text manor will need the dos2unix
process run on them to clean up end-of-line issues until we can get a fix
into the source code.....

Take care.....
