subject: Maximus on Linux

Hi,

Okay, I managed to get the maximus source via CVS and the files 
max-3.03-etc.tar.gz and max-unix.3.03b.tar.gz.

I seem to recall that these where required, I assume that I put them in 
../src, of my directory where cvs put the files it downloaded, once I got a 
connect to the cvs server. :-)

These files are in ../src/maximus, so the above mentioned files would also 
untar in the maximus directory if placed in ../src before untarring them.

Next,

I run on a system with a mono vga screen/monitor, and certain colours do not 
show up very well on this screen.

Is/are there options to compile maximus/squish for a mono vga enviroment, or 
at least use colours that don't just "disappear" on a mono vga screen?

PS. took me three attempts to download the max*tar.gz files, they tended to 
wait until 67% to 83% download and then just bombeb out.

Also, found out if I want to "crash" Internet Expolerer on my
system, I must 
load the CVS instructions page on Sourceforge, and then try and save it, 
caused the demise of one batch of downloads. :-((
