   I don't like the Github monoculture, but everything is better than   
   Sourceforge. I'm using Gitlab for my own projects.   
      
    AI>  I used the 3.03 sources from sourceforge.net and the sources at

   I think they are the same.   
      
    AI> Back then I think gcc was at version 2.95 or somewhere there abouts.   
      
   IIRC there were some commits for compatibility with gcc 3 (dot something).   
   Unfortunetely I don't know enough of C / C++ to fix the errors and warnings   
   properly. I don't think it would be hard for a C coder, but it seems nobody is   
   interested in Squish and Maximus on Linux anymore. Or should I ask in the TUB   
   echo?

   I used Squish and Maximus in the 90s and it still can compete with recent Fido   
   software. I managed to compile parts of it on the Raspberry a while ago, but   
   was not sure if my changes were correct or would cause other problems at   
   runtime.   
      
   There was problem with rescanned echoareas I received from my uplink. Because   
   todays computers and drives are so much faster, all .pkt files had the same   
   timestamp. Squish tries to toss .pkt files chronologically, but fails   
   misserably in that case and tosses the .pkt files in random order.   
      
   Do I have to learn C or write my own tosser in REXX? ;)
