   I also resubscribed for the WinServer 7.  Everything worked fine until I   
   tried my 16bit doors.  None of them worked.  They all worked when I was   
   running WinServer on a Windows 2003 server, but I had installed the new   
   WinServer onto a Windows 7/32bit computer.  Long story short I had to   
   NetWork Wildcat using the Windows Server 2003 as a workstation.  Then   
   ran wcOnline, and configured for my users to telnet into that   
   server/workstation and now the games all work.   
      
   Apparently Santronics uses MicroSoft VDD to run these games, but   
   MicroSoft quit supporting VDD a long time ago.  Any new OS starting I   
   think with Vista will not run your 16bit door games.     
      
   Apparently SSI has not revisted this issue since MicroSoft quit   
   supporting VDD in its OS's.   
      
   Games do work now.  But instead of going to rdfig.net:1024, if you want   
   to play the dos door games you telnet to wildcat.darktech.org on   
   standard port and then you can play the games.   
      
   See ya later.
