As far as I know, the release of WWIV 5.0 is Y2K compliant. The board itself
even runs great under Win 2K3 Server. Originally, I ran my board dialup only
which caused me no problems with TW. This round the board is telnet only and
I'm running it under windows instead of OS/2. Working with the DOS version 3.09
of TW currently. I've gotten it to where it doesn't error out when someone
tries to enter it, but it just drops and dumps the user back to the BBS. I know
that the DOS TW will run on WWIV 5...as some boards are running it now. I'm
talking with a couple SysOps to try and figure it out, but am asking here just
to extend the amount of assistance. Like I said earlier...if there is anyone
who knows how to get WWIV to talk with TWGS...I'd be happy to give that a go as
well. I would love to pay and register TW, as it was one of my favorite doors
back in the day. But I gotta make sure I can get it running first. ANy input
from anyone for either version could prove helpful.
