subject: Successfully compiled Maximus 3.02

I have successfully compiled all Maximus 3.02 overlayed DOS and Win32
source executables as per "MaximusSourceDoc.doc" on Windows XP
using Watcom C/C++ Version 11c and the "h\nt" headers and
"lib386\nt" libraries from Version 10.6. 

I am very happy.

I am now in the process of correcting the build scripts and updating the
source documentation because it said:

  "copy the legacy Watcom compiler include files into 
  c:\dv\s3\comp\wc15\h\nt and copy the old compiler's 
  libraries into c:\dv\s3\comp\wc15\lib386\nt."

when "dv\s3\binnt\setwc11.bat" set WATCOM_LIBS to the wrong
location (!) (c:\dv\comp\wc15 instead of c:\dv\s3\comp\wc15). Unfortunately
it took me 4 weeks of debugging grief before this single error was spotted.
Man, I was severely pissed off. 

In the end, nothing had to be modified except this incorrectly set
WATCOM_LIBS environment. There was no need to fix inconsistent
declarations, types, defines etc. Everything described in
"MaximusSourceDoc.doc" would have worked if that WATCOM_LIBS was
set correctly. Heh.

Now I can start reading the SLIB stuff :) Woohoo !
