 ST> How about Squish under Win32, OS/2, DOS4GW etc?
 ST> Does it can be compiled using Watcom or ICC/CL/etc?

 ST> Writing non-portable Squish/Linux is not a good idea, I think. 

 BJ> Are you willing to step up and get a working Watcom compiler and

 ST> Yes, I will. At least, I did it some time ago for W32

Thanks!  Ok.  Well, if we could keep the 32 bit Win32 and OS/2 compiles going 
that would be better than what we currently have....  Thanks!

 BJ> I attempted to get Scott's original GPL released Maximus 3.0x and
 BJ> Squish code compiling under a pre-released Open Watcom compiler,
 BJ> using the copy of DMAKE that I have.  It didn't work. 

 ST> Original distribution has some pitfalls, I think, for 
 ST> make people compiling Squish if they really want to do 
 ST> it. ;)
 ST> I can restore original environment and describe them.

The main problem I was trying to get past was the make situation....  I never 
succeeded in getting DMAKE to work on my OS/2 system with the version of 
OpenWatcom I was playing with.  If at some point you could describe what you 
did to get things compiling in your win32 environment, I think that would be 
usefull to me.  Thanks.

 BJ> If you want to help, please let me know what your source forge user
 BJ> ID is. 

 ST> angryxpeh

Ok.....  I'm running too late tonight.  I'll try to look this up over the next 
few days and add you to the maximus sourceforge site.

Take care.....
