   Again which is why I FERVENTLY say if you are going to run ANY version of   
   Wildcat, do NOT use anything else than Win XP or Server 2003 32-bit.  It will   
   be nothing but a major headache in the long run.

    RF> to play the dos door games you telnet to wildcat.darktech.org on

   Yeah, I can see where this could be confusing for some.
