Hello Rick,

 RS> Is anyone using or playing with maximus on current OS?

Sean Dennis is running Maximus 3.01 on ArcaOS.

 RS> get it to build on current distros..

You mean build from source?

I did that a short time after the source was released. It built successfully but it wasn't easy. Max ran OK but mex didn't so that took away a lot of Max's functionality for those who built it. Some folks did try to work that out but I don't know if they ever did.

Squish worked OK, there were some minor visual glitches but it worked as I remember it working on DOS and OS/2.

I think that was around 2005. You could likely build it today but it might need some makefile changes or.. might need a skilled programmer to adjust the code to compile on todays compilers.

 Ttyl :-),
