    Hi,
    Saw your message on another area stating that you run your dos doors in dosemu. I am trying to move my bbs over to linux but am struggling getting the dos doors to run under dosemu2. One is legend of the red dragon , which gives internal error #38019 when it is run in dosemu2. Can you share any lighty on the secret to getting the many dos doors to run happily on dosemu?

    ... Computers all wait at the same speed!

    Andrew and I both run MBSE which has a specific setup for DOSemu.

    If it helps, you can check that page out at:

    http://bbs.outpostbbs.net/mbseman/doors/doors.html

    That page explains how to set up DOSemu on a modern Linux system but after that, it's mainly MBSE-specific.

    Hope this helps!

    Hello klunk!

    I run DOSEMU 1.4.0.8, not DOSEMU2. I've never tried DOSEMU2, because the version I'm using works for what I need to do. I do know that some versions of LORD have issues in dosemu. 4.07 is one of them. I use LORD 4.08 beta on my BBS for my InterLORD games. My LORDnet games use older versions (4.00a IIRC...)

    What other doors are you having issues with?

    Andrew
