Hello Mark,
MMD> I have checked my nightly CVS compiles of the Linux
MMD> maximus and it can't find two entries which I am going to

When I first started trying out the cvs versions of Maximus I got errors because
it needs the libncurses-DEV* headers that I didn't have installed. Make would
give errors that didn't say anything about ncurses but since I installed them I
haven't had any problems. ATM Max is compilling quite well not even giving many
warnings.
I don't know if that's what's happening there but it solved my problems. I can
just cvs up maximus now to get the latest fixes and build again.

Yes, he's been hard at it, he's got mex working now.. :) Max's future is looking
good.

Me too.. :) Linux is a lot like OS/2 (but different!) with a more powerfull
shell.

I ran RA from around 94-96, when I took the OS/2 plunge I switched to Maximus/2.
I had the non-networked version though so I never had the telnet setup you did.
Those were the days.. :))
