 MB> What all would I need to help out?

To start with, a working C / C++ compiler.  Do you have a version of the 
commercial Watcom compiler available?  If not, Open Watcom?  If not a port of 
GCC to your platform?

You will need additional tools to completely compile and rebuild Maximus and 
Squish (and now SqaFix) from source code.  If I remember correctly, Scott used 
dmake (publicly available, but did not become a standard) with Watcom (either 9 
or 10).  I didn't have all the tools Scott used.  And the make program Scott 
used did not run properly on my (OS/2 based) system.  

What is your platform?  MS-DOS?  Windows?  OS/2?  What version of the OS?

How familiar are you with coding and debugging in C?

Do you have an account on sourceforge?

Take care.....
