       TM> I've never used Linux at home, so I can be of no assitance here. :-)              No worries. I run two BBS softwares on Linux here at home and DOS based door       games run just fine with Dosemu.               TM> Yes it is. BBBS for Windows is a 32 bit windows native program, hence it        TM> will not work with DOS based doors running in a "dos box". It runs fine        TM> on the local screen, but Windows will not let you pass that information        TM> to the Telnet node. So the user will be "blind" :-(              Is Synchronet and Mystic BBS softwares not 32 bit Windows native programs?       There have not been issues running door games with either of those softwares       for years.              Maybe it is a BBBS issue then.               TM> It does not. The Native BBBS (32 bits) for Windows will not work with DOS        TM> doors. I have discussed it with Kim Heino, and he can confirm it here if        TM> he reads this echo.        TM>         TM> You MAY get it to work if you run an old DOS based BBBS verison on a 32        TM> bit Windows platform. However BBBS for DOS is no longer compiled, and        TM> you will be stuck with version 4.00, since that was the last DOS version              Maybe that's specific to BBS and/or something Kim didn't want to add support       for. All I know is there are other 32 bit native Windows softwares out there       that run door games just fine, and /without/ a dos emulator of any kind.              This is why I said that for some BBBS sysop to be that interested in running       dos door games on their system, I'm sure they can find a way -- unless       support for it was not added into BBBS on purpose.              Regards,       Nick              --- Mystic BBS v1.10 A38 (Linux)        * Origin: Dark Sorrow | telnet://bbs.darksorrow.us (1:154/701)    |
