      >> Yes it is. BBBS for Windows is a 32 bit windows native program, hence it       >> will not work with DOS based doors running in a "dos box".

I don't know the       technical explanation to this, I'm just passing on the information that Kim       Heino has given me, and that made me give it up DOS doors on my system.              >> You MAY get it to work if you run an old DOS based BBBS verison on a 32       >> bit Windows platform. However BBBS for DOS is no longer compiled, and       >> 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.

But there are no BBBS/NT boards doing that.
