  I am in the process of attempting to move my BBS system from one
  computer to another.   On the current computer, I am running OS/2 Warp
  3, with the SIO drivers etc.    I have the combination of IM frontend,
  Maximus and Squish, using maxp and squ386p.

  The system I am going to be using will be running Windows XP home
  edition.

  I have tried copying all of my files over, and then installing the
  Maximus and Squish for DOS, using max and squish instead of maxp and
  sq386p.   I am trying to set up shortcuts to run the various programs
  in a CMD window.  It has not all worked yet.

  At this time, the main question I would ask is whether or not this
  should work -- once I get all of the settings right.  Or am I missing
  something major such as the DOS version will just not work under
  WinXP?   I see that there is a version for WinNT on the web site.

  Maximus seems to run, but has a problem with the message pointers.  In
  several echos, the message number is several hundred thousand.  In
  those echos, I can read or scan the messages as a whole -- but the
  pointer does not get reset nor can I go to any particular message
  number (e.g. 199002) and start there.

  I am also having a problem with my frontend -- it errors out, but that
  is a question for another echo.
