Hello Kurt.

I've tried using FCOMP.EXE using the option for Maximus 3.x.  However, when
it scans the FILES.* files from my C:\MAX directory, it shows 0 areas. 
But, if I use silt to build Max 2.x data files as well, FCOMP.EXE sees them
just fine when I tell it to use that version's file database configuration.

Yeah, and for some reason the setup program crashes from time to time with
out of memory errors, too, which pisses me off to no end.  Unfortunately, I
don't think the 5.xx series will work since that version requires a
registration key to function fully.

And yes, I am running the latest 6.00 version under eCS 2.2 beta 2.
