Some do. I think the fossil that comes with dosemu is just a simple thing
that lets the door think it's a fossil, it's a very small program.

Like I said, it's a trial and error thing. To speed things up, as root you
can edit the contents of the dos disk, so you won't need to logout everytime
you change someting in autoexec.bat or config.sys. Just make sure your
editor works with crlf.

I whish a lot of doorwriters just released their code so they could be
ported. I get the feeling that some of them still think they can earn some
money selling registrations.
