They are not as portable as       other doors.              That said, some BBS software did have "adaptor" software written that would       allow offline mail doors to work with their software. Back before QWK       doors were written for, or QWK support added to, GT Power, some sysops were       able to use something called "Megamail" (I think?) which created offline       packets for users to read using "Megareader" (again, I think?). I cannot       remember what BBS software that door was originally meant to work with.       Been a long time. :)              Mike              ---        * SLMR 2.1a * A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man. -J.Springfield        * Origin: CCO BBS - capitolcityonline.net:26 (1:2320/105)    |
