Do you have the Maximus 3.01 source ?
I do, however, have a copy of the full CVS tree for the project handy, so I could theoretically extract a copy of the sources circa 3.01. Is there something specific you're hoping to see?
It should be relatively easy to do a CVS extract, fetching version 1.0 for all files, to get the original sources. But aren't
these files, the same files
which are in the zip file released on the homepage?
Hi Bo,
It's good to see that you are still around too! I admit that I only started following when I was able to find a RSS feed for MUFFIN.

Extracting the sources also is not entirely painless, since the sourcearchive
was created with CVS for DOS and there seem to be a number of filename convention, linefeed and binary mode issues when trying to access it with a modern CVS install. If there is something in particular that people wouldlike
to see though, I am not averse to trying to find a specific changeset.

It's possible that I may have the exact distribution image sitting
around somewhere, but those discs are a few thousand miles away and I'm not easily able to go sift through them.

Ah, probably from a synchronet system I assume. :) How
is it using a BBS after all these years? :)

am actually using Andre Clarke's fantastic RSS service at http://fidonet.ozzmosis.com!
Sorry about that--it sounds like the build instructions
led you astray. I still do have admin rights at the
sourceforge project if you need to find a way to get in
to correct them, as Andrew mentioned! It looks like
Andrew could help you in that regard too.
For what it is worth, the project should be buildable
using only one compiler, at least in theory. Someone
previously mentioned that some of the options were
hardcoded to use WC 11.0: this is actually something
that you can change relatively easily. In case it's not
obvious, instad of using "setwc11" to set up your
compiler environment for WC 11.0, you can also
configure it to use WC 10.0 or 10.5 (setwc or setwc15,
respectively--I think?).
I should add that the above is the theory only: those
compilers were used to build previous versions of
Maximus, but my memory is fuzzy regarding whether or
not I ever tried them with 3.02. I do notice that the
"fix" for the previously-mentioned /wcd compilation
error is incorporated there.
For the record, I also don't recall using anything
except production versions of the WATCOM compilers (eg.
not OpenWatcom) for producing any of the distribution
versions of Maximus.
I am also pretty sure that the build scripts were only
tested/tried using a Win32 host platform (in other
words, don't try to build from DOS).
I hope this may be of some help!

Ah I didn't knew that his site provided such a service. But it's
easy to provide once the data are in a SQL database. :-)

FWIW fidonet.ozzmosis.com doesn't use SQL. It just uses some ac>quick-and-dirty PHP code to read the .SQD files stored on the server.
