Exactly the case. If someone has a reproducable problem -directly pertaining- to Maximus or Squish, it's welcome in the MUFFIN and TUB echos. Discussion about "Y2K" in general, or about other programs, or just suggestions, rumors, or such other junk are NOT welcome.

And besides this, if there's a problem, it's in the QWK specs. I'm sure if they come up with a revised spec, you can easily implement it in Max. Beyond that, "QWK-2k" wouldn't be a topic here either. I think were pretty much in sync on what's topical and what's not regarding this. :-) --gary --- Maximus v3.01 * Origin: http://oeonline.com/~garyg/maximus/ (1:2410/400) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 174 MUFFIN (MAXIMUS) Ref: F2500017Date: 02/03/98 From: MANISH MALIK Time: 11:53pm \/To: LEE KNOPER (Read 0 times) Subj: Bulletin Maker -=> Remebering what Lee Knoper wrote to Manish Malik <=- LK> You might look for Bulletin Maker v1.1, by George Lebl.
