Just a bit more detail on this:

Message-ID: 

Hi, All;

Bo & Andrew -- will get back to tommorow.

Maximus/UNIX 3.03a will be online at http://wes.zapto.org/~wes/maximus
shortly.

I haven't done a "from scratch" build on this yet -- it just
takes too long on this slow POS machine. So you may find some wierd
interdepency problems. Please bear with me :).

Sat May 24 00:50:45 EDT 2003 - Maximus/UNIX 3.03a

        Initial Public Release. Bumped version number 3.03 to avoid confusion.
        Current Status: Everything but Maximus "works for me"

        Major Problem Areas:
                - No Installer
                - Local console output is buggy (always one keystroke behind)
                - fdcomm.so comm driver is buggy and does not speak telnet
                - fdcomm.so comm driver only allows one concurrent session
                - MexVM crashes regularly on 64-bit arch. Don't know about 32-bit.

        Problems Fixed:
                - Too many to mention.

        Added Features:
                - max -p2000 makes Maximus listen on TCP port 2000
                - Added more options to master makefile; now tries to
                  compiler Maximus control files during make install
                - Added a simple ./configure script, to try and reduce
                  confusion among users.
