  • Max / Squish message area control file

    From Daniel Torrey@1:2320/100 to All on Fri Jan 23 14:44:02 2015
    Hi All,

    Setting up Maximus 3.01 here. I haven't done this in probably 20 years. It seems to me that there was some way to get Max and Squish to read the same list of echos, rather than duplicating the whole mess in both MSGAREA.CTL and SQUISH.CFG, but I can't remember what it is. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Daniel

    v 3.01 is superceded by 3.02 or 03 so suggest you try that latest and compile it if needed.

    As for your question sorry its been well over 10 years ago when I was running it under OS/2 and I don't have the set ups any more (well I have not noticed them but I do have a lot of HDD space on the system).
