RT> Hello everybody.

RT> Any one compiled a version of Maximus to run under WIN7?

I have successfully compiled Maximus under Windows XP.

I comprehensively updated the "MaximusSourceDoc.doc" build instructions back in
2008 but have not committed the new version to sourceforge. You can get the
documentation here: "http://users.tpg.com.au/mdsl/tmp/MaximusSourceDoc.doc". It
details everything you need.

Building the Maximus DOS, OS/2 and Win32 binaries require proprietary
libraries. I have prepared a "redistributable" archive that contains everything
required to build Maximus on Windows (2.63 gigabytes). Let me know if you want
it ("[email protected]").

I am sure it will compile successfully under WIN7.

I made some minor modifications to 3.02 eg, changed logfile time & date format
to include the year, version numbers to 3.02.1 etc but have not gone further
due to lack of C programming skills. A guy named Bo Simonsen said it took him 6
months to get his head around the SLIBs (main Maximus libraries). I suppose I
could put more time & effort into developing Maximus but I have more profitable
things to do atm.

Maximus was made to run under DOS and OS/2. I recommend running anything
related to a BBS under Windows XP because everything works well in its NTVDM
(doors, games, telnet servers, virtual modems etc).

RT> Ran Maximus before and liked it ...

Maximus is the best BBS software in the world !
