The Win32 & linux versions could likely be updated but it will be
a challenge to find devs who have the tools to compile new DOS &
OS/2 executibles.

That is a big zone isn't it.. :) I've never tried to use a zone that
big so I'm not sure but HPT may do that too. Gert might know about
that.

Exactly what are you looking for? A tosser that can handle longer messages
or a utility that can get the long messages out of the *.Lng files?
What operating system? If you are looking for a DOS or Win app, I might be
able to help.
More questions...
What version of Squish are you running?
16 or 32 bit?
What BUFFERS setting do you have in Squish.Cfg?
Sq386 and Sq386P with BUFFERS LARGE can handle messages up to 256K !

Fred

HPT from the husky project handles large messages OK. It's not as easy
to setup as Squish though.
I'm hoping one day Squish can be updated but we'll have to see.

Due to contract work and related potential for IP issues, I haven't worked on the maximus / squish code for a while..... There is now the Open Watcom compiler. Since Max and Squish were originally compilable for Dos, Win and OS/2 using the predecessor to this compiler, there is hope.... But I believe the latest version in the sourceforge archive has only been compiled for Linux and related systems.... Note: The source for Squish is part of the Maximus source code.....
Something tells me the 4 digit zone number is breaking some FTSC standard.....

If people would write (only) ANSI standard code this wouldn't be an issue as any compiler that conforms to ANSI standards (and AFAIK most do) on
any OS would work just fine.

a utility because i have it set as Large as my buffer but it would
not process the packet I get several *.lng messages a month from my
hub probslly stats or listings....
Squish & Maximus were originaly OS/2 programs that were then compiled
for DOS, and then later for Win/NT IIRC. Now it's being compiled on
*nix too. There must be quite a mix of stuff in there by now.. :)
I'm not a coder myself, I don't know if it's ANSI complient or not.

I can probably throw something together that will do what you want. Zip up
a couple of those .Lng files and send them to me so I have something to
test with.

Will do, what's your email address?
The modem is kinda cranky.

You make it sound so easy! The Squish and Maximus code dates back to
the early 1990s. It's a bit unrealistic to expect 15 year old
DOS-based code to be ANSI/ISO C standard conformant. If they were to
be rewritten from scratch I suspect this would not be much of a
problem, although they would probably be rewritten in C++ or Python
now.
In any case, there are some things you can't do solely with ANSI/ISO C/C++, eg.
- findfirst/findnext (eg. Squish processing *.PKT and *.pkt), although
you can do this with less-portable POSIX calls
- serial port I/O (OS dependant) (required for Maximus)
- enhanced text mode display (required for Maximus but not Squish) (OS dependant - requires Curses, OS/2 Vio* or Win32 console subsystem
calls)
- probably a few other things that don't spring to mind
