somehow your horizon is limited... i've never had any problems getting
doors to run with mystic... neither has my friend tess who never messed
with one at all until a few years ago when she decided to throw something
together and try to work out a surprise for me... she did very well but was
never able to complete the work on the surprise because all the needed user
and system values are not (yet) available...

are you saying that you can get rusty's doors that are written in BASIC and
don't support a FOSSIL to work under SBBS???
