That would be a good place to look too.. I did run the hangman from the
bsd games package as a door here at one time. It runs fine. It would just
need a bit of nice ansi color and the ability to keep a score file so
I guess it would need to read door.sys.

Going a little further if we could share the score file among intersted
nodes we'd have an interbbs hangman game. Someone would have to keep
score, take in score files from connected boards and send out updated
scores.

Taking it one step further it could communicate via the chat server
(or something like that) and players on different boards could play
in real time. How are your coding skills? :)

Yep, so do I. He was an intersting sort, very helpful if anyone was
having difficulty with anything.

 Ttyl :-),
