MaxiHost v091590 by Don Mankin Registration $ 25.00 COMM OCT90 MAKIN MINIHOST MAXIHOST BBS HOST FILES: mh091590.sdn Update The original purpose of MAXIHOST was to allow the consultant or programmer to call his office from elsewhere and retrieve programs he had forgotten to bring along. It was to be a simple program with only a few features. But, as happens with programs of this kind, I kept wondering what it would be like if I did just changed this, added that . . . so it grew into what you see: a powerful host program, or compact BBS.
