On 20 Dec 93 08:52:33, Warren Hrach said this to All.

WH> I have just obtained the C source for the Maximus BBS system,
|
||
|
|
WH> MAXIMUS V1.02. It is somewhat dated but will provide a good basis for
|
||
|
|
WH> an OSK BBS to use with BINKLEY.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! (Pardon me, I had to let that out.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maximus seems to be very popular with Fido SysOps in my area. I have no idea
|
||
|
|
why. In my not so humble opinion, dealing with it is not for the faint of
|
||
|
|
heart, nor would I recommend Maximus to new SysOps. It's been my experience
|
||
|
|
that, in order to do just about anything with it, you have to jump thru all
|
||
|
|
sorts of hoops. If there were only two pieces of BBS software to choose from,
|
||
|
|
Maximus being one of them, I would probably choose the other, hands down.
|
||
|
|
So much for my opinion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much choice in the matter. Not many
|
||
|
|
BBS programmers feel comfortable in releasing the source code for their
|
||
|
|
programs. Those that have done so realize that someone will likely hack it
|
||
|
|
apart. This may not necessarily be to the benefit of those who use the
|
||
|
|
"official" version of the program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At any rate, if someone works on the Maximus source code, I would hope that
|
||
|
|
they would be able to make an easier to use BBS out of it than the author of
|
||
|
|
Maximus has.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I wish all good luck with the project.

-> Look for your UPS pkg. by 93/12/17. I shipped on the 10th.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Got it! It arrived Saturday (the 18th). I spent all day trying to
|
||
|
|
match up pages to Table of Contents' ... Well, that and a few other
|
||
|
|
things.. I seem to be missing one or two title pages, one Table of
|
||
|
|
Contents, and an index, but they appear to be very minor omissions, so I
|
||
|
|
won't sweat it. Thanks L-O-A-D-S-!-! (I feel giddy about my computer
|
||
|
|
again!) :-) Malcolm

Malcolm,
|
||
|
|
If you can identify which sheets are missing I can try to find
|
||
|
|
and make copies and send to you.
|
||
|
|
I am glad you are happy with your system again, Merry Christmas.

Eric,
|
||
|
|
Just what is so hard about Maximus ??, I have heard others comment
|
||
|
|
on RiBBS being impossible and even OS9 so what level of difficulty are
|
||
|
|
we talking about ? As I see it I doubt that the eventual OSK BBS will
|
||
|
|
bear much resemblance to any previous system, I would like it to be
|
||
|
|
RiBBS like, of course, since that has been my experiance.

|

David,
|
||
|
|
The code I modified for my purposes can be found in the Ocean BBS's
|
||
|
|
file section. The joystick sampling code segments were written by Mike
|
||
|
|
Haaland and Stephen Seneker (different source files.)
|
||
|
|
While on the subject of joysticks, though, even though I've left
|
||
|
|
this message on Delphi, let me repeat it here. Who's brilliant idea was
|
||
|
|
it to make the MM/1 joystick port use the old CoCo 6-pin DIN joystcks?
|
||
|
|
The only joystick I have left has a button that doesn't work, and, as
|
||
|
|
I'm sure you know, Radio Shack doesn't sell these types of joysticks
|
||
|
|
anymore. If we want to entice non CoCo people into buying MM/1s, how are
|
||
|
|
we gonna supply them with joysticks they can use?
|
||
|
|
...Eric...
