   Door Specific Instructions   
   When you try to run Nuke Wars, you may get an error on your BBS machine saying   
   that COM3 cannot be opened. In order to resolve that, make a copy of   
   sbbsexec.ini from Synchronet's exec directory to your Nuke Wars directory,   
   then edit sbbsexec.ini in your Nuke Wars directory with a text editor. Change   
   the ComPort setting (in the [UART] section) to specify 3:   
      
   [UART]   
   ComPort=3
