    EO>> tried setting it up on my BBS, but it always says it is unable to

   It should be running in the same process as the BBS software, I'd think..  And   
   since my BBS is running in Windows, I wouldn't think there would be as much   
   issue with user permissions as there is in Linux.   
      
   At any rate, I got past that error by configuring the door to put its log file   
   somewhere else.  Now it's giving me this error:   
    QChat 1.00  has detected an error:   
      
    Runtime error 103 has occured.   
    Error has occurred at 0000:8DA0.   
    Code location: 9   
      
    Please report this to the author.   
      
   I think this door is written in Pascal, so I looked up Pascal error 103 and   
   found that it means "File not open".  That tells me there's a file issue in the   
   door, but it doesn't really help me beyond that.  So it seems to be either a   
   gaping bug in the door (and I'd be surprised if it were, since I'd think they'd   
   catch that in testing), or it might be a Pascal issue.  Either way, it's a   
   bummer, since this door appears to be abandonware.
