Yeah, I would certainly be doing it if running on Win/DOS, but although 
I can get the door (Usurper) to run fine in dosemu under Linux, the 
maintenance routines for stuff like that can be difficult because the 
emulator doesn't always "hand off" things quite right, or return to the 
OS when something finishes.  I may look into this again, as it seems 
like it should be possible.  ;-)
