   This is a file that Sean Rima wrote regarding installing Doors under BBBS.. I   
   think it will have everything you need in this file.. :)   
      
   http://www.filegate.net/info/bbbs-doors-howto   
      
   It was so funny today.. I was searching all over the internet for this file,   
   eventually gave up and on a lark typed "locate bbbs-doors-howto" on my linux   
   box.. darn file was just a few directories down from where'd I'd been   
   searching on my system .. anyway, I was glad to find this file again.   
      
   Also, Gert wrote some great documentation for installing doors under dosemu   
   and a lot of information about dosemu itself :)  It's not for BBBS though.   
   Gert's pages are here:   
      
   http://www.kofobbs.dk/bbs-doors/   
      
   From what I've read today there could be a problem if you use dosbox in that   
   you can only run single user doors, but I really don't know if that's true..   
      
   Hope this helps,   
   Janis
