I always thought it was strange there was an official release of Maximus for Windows NT, but not Squish!

I have these:

sq111n-2002-10-28.zip  Windows NT port of Squish 1.11 by Serguei Trouchelle
msgapint.zip  Squish MsgAPI DLL for Windows NT, from the Maximus 3.02 release
squish_n.zip  Windows NT port of Squish 1.11. No documentation. Binaries only.
sqwin32.zip   Squish MSGAPI API for Windows NT. Headers, libraries (MSGAPINT.LIB & MSGAPINT.DLL) and documentation, from Dylan Griffiths.

I can't vouch for any of them. Beware of potential Y2K bugs, at minimum.

Though from what I recall the 3.02 release of Maximus for Windows NT was Y2K-compliant, which included MSGAPINT.DLL. However the DLL might not necessarily be compatible with the unofficial NT port of Squish. You'll need to experiment a bit and report back to us :)

Incidentally there's the TUB echo, for Squish users. I believe it's still vaguely active.
