So.... if I recall correctly from earlier in this thread, you were quite 
offended about running "DOS BBS software" in any kind of emulated 
environment.  I believe the word used was "emulated crap".  And yet... 
you run DOS BBS software in a Windows emulator (whether it's Win10 or 
WinXP doesn't much matter).  Having trouble understanding that logic.

It seems to me that you could (should?) be running the old DOS software 
on .... DOS.

Newsflash!  BBS stuff is now made for many other OS's, most of which run 
natively on the OS, with no need for "emulated crap".
