Here's my dosemurc file: https://pastebin.com/qYRvutAs

Nothing really unusual in there at all.

And the command line I run from Mystic is this:

stty cols 80 rows 25 && dosemu -t -K '/home/bbs' -E 'doors\tw2002\start.bat %3' 1>/dev/null /DOS

(the /DOS tells Mystic to create DOS formatted drop files)

The BBS directory mounts to g:\ so my games look for the dropfile in g:\temp1, temp2, etc.

Anyway, I don't know if this helps anyone! I will note, if you had plain old dosemu installed before dosemu2, it will cause issues. Once I cleared out all the original dosemu stuff, I was able to make things happen.

I'm running on Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, x64.

.... No one knows what's next, but everybody does it.
