ST> If anybody can send me these sources, please write to For original sources, please contact Pete. He is registered on on the Maximus Sourceforge page, and I think e-mail to his sourceforge accout does get to him. If you do get source from Pete, please make sure you keep what is on the sourceforge site legal under the GNU public license. The main problem with the original SqaFix code was a couple of copyrighted source files that Pete had. From memory, I had to replace four files. One file was the CRC-16 / CRC-32 calculation. That file was believe to be PD, but I didn't have clear knowledge of that. So, I replaced the CRC calculation with one from another GNU package. The current CRC code should be OK with the Watcom compiler, but I haven't tried it yet. The (two or) three other files contained Borland copyrights if I remember correctly. So, if you had the appropriate Borland C(?) compiler, you could use the code..... I wouldn't be supprised if at least part of the Borland code has been released for public consumption, but I didn't have the time to track it down. From memory, these files dealt with OS issues, such as file name / directory issues, etc. Bo and I had to replace these files with other code or new code, and that new code was only tested in a Linux / Unix based environment. I'm sure there will be some changes needed in those (two or) three files to get the code to compile again for a Win32 / OS/2 / DOS target. And I did drop a few files from being checked in to the SqaFix subdirectory on sourceforge from Pete's original code because I didn't have a way to use or check the file's contents. I think the Watcom IDE's control files (i.e. make stuff) was part of that. Take care..... Bob Jones, 1:343/41 --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Top Hat 2 BBS (1:343/41) .
