I have successfully compiled all Maximus 3.02 overlayed DOS and Win32 source
executables as per "MaximusSourceDoc.doc" on Windows XP using Watcom C/C++
Version 11c and the "h\nt" headers and "lib386\nt" libraries from Version 10.6.


I am very happy.

I am now in the process of correcting the build scripts and updating the source
documentation because it said:

 "copy the legacy Watcom compiler include files into
 c:\dv\s3\comp\wc15\h\nt and copy the old compiler's
 libraries into c:\dv\s3\comp\wc15\lib386\nt."

when "dv\s3\binnt\setwc11.bat" set WATCOM_LIBS to the wrong location (!)
(c:\dv\comp\wc15 instead of c:\dv\s3\comp\wc15). Unfortunately it took me 4
weeks of debugging grief before this single error was spotted. Man, I was
severely pissed off.

In the end, nothing had to be modified except this incorrectly set WATCOM_LIBS
environment. There was no need to fix inconsistent declarations, types, defines
etc. Everything described in "MaximusSourceDoc.doc" would have worked if that
WATCOM_LIBS was set correctly. Heh.

Now I can start reading the SLIB stuff :) Woohoo !
