I know, I was reading the instructions for Doorway and the very 1st instruction
said to download and install MSft Visual C++, and I just stopped there and
started wondering how to do that in Linux.

Then further into the instructions I realized it was just a pre-requisite for
Windows users in order to use DoxBox, and I've already got DosBox running under
Linux so I should have just ignored that step. I spazzed out.

But now for my next trick, I'm going to try to find out if I'll be able to use
a fossil driver with Linux - because it appears that a fossil driver is a
prerequisite for Doorway.

Am I being stupid again? lol I don't know if there's a fossil driver for linux
but I'm about to try to find out..
