I figured .. you would think that if a DOSBox could be made, a drop
file could that would deal with 16/32/64 bit issues .. but I'm NO
programmer and would have no clue how incredibly difficult that would
likely be.  I'm glad to see a few people still making doors.  While I
don't play them, it's nice to see updated games to keep those that do
like the games calling BBS's.  I wish DoorMUD was still in active
development as that game seems to be the most popular from what I can
see on my BBS.

Anyway thanks for the info.
