      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 1:275/99 426aeb09       REPLY: 3:633/267 5ff9051b       TZUTC: 0000        ac> if you're just starting out in coding, you definitely don't need it,        ac> especially not in Linux, and especially not to use DOSBox. :-)              I know, I was reading the instructions for Doorway and the very 1st instruction       said to download and install MSft Visual C++, and I just stopped there and       started wondering how to do that in Linux.              Then further into the instructions I realized it was just a pre-requisite for       Windows users in order to use DoxBox, and I've already got DosBox running under       Linux so I should have just ignored that step. I spazzed out.              But now for my next trick, I'm going to try to find out if I'll be able to use       a fossil driver with Linux - because it appears that a fossil driver is a       prerequisite for Doorway.              Am I being stupid again? lol I don't know if there's a fossil driver for linux       but I'm about to try to find out..              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/64)        * Origin: CompuBBS | Ashburn VA | cfbbs.scinet-ftn.org (1:275/99)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 16/101 19/36 20/4609 90/1 102/401 103/705       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 116/18 120/331 340 123/131 140 124/5016 128/2       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 401 410 501 700       SEEN-BY: 218/802 810 840 850 221/0 222/2 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 550 616 664 1016 1017 230/150 152 240/77       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 250/1 261/38       SEEN-BY: 261/100 1466 266/512 267/155 275/0 89 91 93 95 98 99 100       SEEN-BY: 275/101 201 301 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 288/100 291/100       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 340/400       SEEN-BY: 341/66 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 640/1321 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 801/161 189 2320/105 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119 3634/12 5020/545       SEEN-BY: 5020/715 1042       PATH: 275/99 100 261/38 218/700 103/705 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
