MaximusSourceDoc.doc on the CVS tree should really be corrected.  Although it 
should be converted to text first.  CVS and binary (.doc) formats don't really 
work well when you're trying to use 'diff'...

Why are the NT headers and libaries from 10.6 required?  Is it because 11.0C 
doesn't supply them?  I didn't notice you were using 11.0C when I read your 
message the first time so you can obviously disregard the link to 11.0C in my 
previous message because you obviously have it.  Maybe it'll help other people 
though.

What happens if you use the NT headers/libs from OpenWatcom 1.0 instead?  
Assuming they exist.  An academic question if we can use OW 1.0 to build the 
entire thing.

It's long overdue, but it'd be great if we could get to a point where you could 
just do a CVS checkout and start the build 
process without needing to extract max-3.03-etc.tar.gz beforehand.  Actually 
the DOS/OS2/Win builds probably don't need that, just the Linux version.  
Strange that it's a requirement though, because there's no source code in 
there.  In fact it seems to build fine if you just do a cvs checkout, then 
"mkdir maximus/install_tree".

Anyway, it's probably a good idea if you were a member of the Maximus project 
on SourceForge, then you could do CVS commits yourself.  Of course you should 
avoid doing any major CVS commits until the source has stabilsied, ie. it 
builds successfully for all targets.

You can see the list of members here:

I think you'd just need to contact one of the admins and ask politely to be 
added.  :-)
