   FastMax2 has been on ab20 for several weeks, and has been making the rounds
of the BBS's as well. It works fine unless you have Amax II version 2.06. The
author just last week released FasMax3 which does handle version 2.06. It is
on ab20, Plink, (and probably a number of BBS's by this time). Forget MacRom.
Use FastMax. It does the job and does it very well. More congrats to the 
author are in order here. He has done a great service for the Amiga 
community!
