Something was changed in the github version that has bad results with DOS
doors. I haven't pinpointed anything yet, but I think it may have something to
do with the virtual com port and actually getting it to work from a BBS, as the
games can be executed straight from the DOS prompt. I have reverted to the
previous version. 1.4.0.8-1 in the Arch repo, and have put a block on
installing the new github version at this point.

Otherwise 1.4.0.8-1 runs the games flawlessly, and is pretty easy to setup in
Mystic using the whatsnew and/or linux_install.txt.

HTH

Regards,
Nick
