Well, by using the original interpreters that came with the games (e.g.,
CUTTHROA.COM) and a command line like COMMAND.COM /C CUTTHROA.COM, I've
got the Infocom stuff almost running. However, the original .COM files use
ANSI, and it gets somewhat bolluxed up when it passes through Doorway.

Despite Doorway's claims to be able to grab any screen output -- even direct
screen writes -- none of the modern Infocom interpreters (which all do direct
screen writes) seem to work with Doorway.  If I could find an Infocom
interpreter that does BIOS writes, that might just solve my problem.

That would be wonderful! I, for one, would look forward to it.
