I admit that I still have not yet found the urge to use a competing
product. I am actually using Andre Clarke's fantastic RSS service at
http://fidonet.ozzmosis.com!

Mvan,

Sorry about that--it sounds like the build instructions led you astray. I
still do have admin rights at the sourceforge project if you need to find a
way to get in to correct them, as Andrew mentioned! It looks like Andrew
could help you in that regard too.

For what it is worth, the project should be buildable using only one
compiler, at least in theory. Someone previously mentioned that some of the
options were hardcoded to use WC 11.0: this is actually something that you
can change relatively easily. In case it's not obvious, instad of using
"setwc11" to set up your compiler environment for WC 11.0, you
can also configure it to use WC 10.0 or 10.5 (setwc or setwc15,
respectively--I think?).

I should add that the above is the theory only: those compilers were used
to build previous versions of Maximus, but my memory is fuzzy regarding
whether or not I ever tried them with 3.02. I do notice that the
"fix" for the previously-mentioned /wcd compilation error is
incorporated there.

For the record, I also don't recall using anything except production
versions of the WATCOM compilers (eg. not OpenWatcom) for producing any of
the distribution versions of Maximus. 

I am also pretty sure that the build scripts were only tested/tried using a
Win32 host platform (in other words, don't try to build from DOS).

I hope this may be of some help!

Scott
