I downloaded it via wget and took a look at the archive but haven't field 
tested it yet.  Offhand there is a problem with all the dat files as they need 
to be filtered to run in a bash shell properly.  All the files still have the 
DOS-think in them so that'll have to go.  Not a really big deal but I imagine 
some UNIXie newbies will miss that major bug.

 MP> /path/to/lord -D/path/to/door.sys

I'll have to remind myself the format of that file.  It has been awhile since 
I've ran a BBS, nevermind door games.  There is quite a bit to do here before I 
am happy with a Linux based BBS.

 MP> Then theres the win32 version which is in beta testing..

:-)  They can keep it.

 MP> Theres also a web version in the works. http://www.web-lord.com

Are you using cgi scripting for that?

Life is good,
Maurice
