   IIRC, Kim has said that BBBS does not support doors, but I have gotten a few to   
   work. Sadly I do not think I was able to get any of the doors you list above   
   to work.  You should still try though, you might get lucky    
      
   Most of the doors I =did= get to work are doors written specifically for BBBS   
   (and there are not that many).  Here is the list of doors that run/or not,   
   here with some notes :)   
      
   1) Worm        ----This was written for BBBS - works   
   2) BZRobots    ----This was written for BBBS - works   
   3) Star101     ----This was written for BBBS - works   
   4) MasterMind  ----This was written for BBBS - works 5) Van Race    ----This   
   was written for BBBS - works   
   6) TimePort (Down currently) --- I had this running once, then some library   
   changed :(  It may work on the version of Linux you run, I don't know. 7)   
   TicTacToe (with SysOp) --- I don't think I ever got the ticktactoe games to   
   work   
   8) TicTacToe v2 (with SysOp) --same as above 9) TicTacToe v3 (with SysOp)   
   --sane as above 10) Gamble to add to your TimeBank! --This was written for   
   BBBS 11) HangMan  -------I modified this one, and it works for BBBS 12) Pimp   
   Wars  ---- This one actually works as written for BBBS and it is not a door   
   written for bbbs    
   13) Legion ---was working then died probably because of Library changes 14) BZ   
   Draw! -------written for BBBS - works 15) Weather Door ---- I wrote this one,   
   it works. 16) Magic Oracle ---- Sean Dennis wrote this one, and it works with   
   BBBS.   
      
   If you can't find the doors written for BBBS anywhere, let me know, I should   
   have the original zip files here -somewhere-  - also the same with the   
   version of Pimp Wars I'm running... I should have the original zip here   
   someplace if you can't find it.   
      
   More later, I have to take care of something else right now...   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
