   Np, and thanks go to Sean

   I'd have to play with nethack and see if I can get it going.  Mostly I use   
   doors written for bbbs, or for Linux over here.. most of them work (as far as   
   I can tell ).   
      
   > Looks simple enough. OS is Cent OS 6.5 x86_64.   
      
   Yes, it does look simple.. this is how I call the linux version of pimpwars   
   (really Lol) FWTW:   
      
   char go;   
   go=system(sprintf("/home/bbbs/pimp/pimpwars /home/bbbs/pimp/dorinfo%u.def   
   %u",bv_nodenumber,bv_nodenumber),1,0);   
      
   It loads, slowly though... just an example of one of the linux doors I call   
   with a variable.   
      
   But nethack looks like it should be supported when you look at sysop.txt, or   
   sysop.gui:   
      
    Environment variable in the script that runs your bbs:   
   BBBSHACK This environment variable should point to a NetHack   
            playground, if you want your users to use the 'q hack'-command   
            to play NetHack (this requires a modified copy   
            of NetHack that the author of BBBS cannot re-distribute).   
      
   Also check the groups file:   
      
   hack                     users who should be allowed to use the main   
                            menu command 'hack' to play NetHack.   
      
      
      
   I'll try installing nethack this weekend and see if I can get it running...   
   who knows   Today was crazy.. tomorrow should calmer    
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
