Hello Mvan.
One day I'll code C kick-ass enough to pass socket handles to even the
DOS version of Maximus baby (!).
Then MAYBE I can get some of those FTP and IRC doors working.
Dunno where I am going to get time to learn to program, wouldn't mind being able to do some C, perl or bash programing ...
Maximus still gets a mention on the FidoNews apps list so it still
rocks !
But in 20 or 30 years when the last Maximus developers die off I
wonder where it'll end up. Probably some dark damp forgotten
recess of www.bbsdocumentary.com like all the others.
Look at Iniquity, Mystic, EleBBS. They're all dead or reduced to
1 idle code maintaner. Heh.
And then 20 years from then, people're going to look back and say
"C ??! who codes that shit anymore" like the way I view ASM,
COBOL and Fortran etc.
... "Mr. Worf, fire phasers at Russell" ... Zzzzzap!
