Hi, this has probably been mentioned in the past.. But thought I
would mention it anyway...

I use the Russian release of Windows 2000 - and can imagine the following
would be a problem for people not using a localised version of Windows which
doesn't use Latin chars:

Problem:  
Setting up many Door Games from the DOS prompt will not work
properly (e.g. LORD, Usurper etc), even if you have American or British
English as an input locale.

Solution:
Download DOSBox from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net and install to
x:\sbbs\DOSBox or your preferred path.  After running DOSBox, you should
mount the drive SBBS is on (eg. "mount c c:\") and then run whichever DOS
app you need to configure your door from there.
