Bo,

It's worth pointing out that the original Maximus already ran on three
different OSes. I recall that the assembly was primarily only used in the OS
abstaction layers (such as they were) and libraries, and in a few other
mostly-ifdef-ed locations to optimize execution, so maybe it's not that
surprising!
Mvan,

- Microsoft Word. I think earlier versions were in WordPerfect, but I
transitioned to Word for DOS at some point, and eventually to WinWord. I can't
say I'd recommend it for a 300 page manual, or at least I wouldn't have at the
time. For the printed version, I recall having to manually use the Word
line-drawing tools to add crop/registration marks to each individual section of
the manual (of which there were at least a dozen). Needless to say, changing
the page size was not an option after I did that.

- What's this "IDE" thing, anyway?  Early versions were written using the Turbo
C IDE. My memory after that is fuzzy.
