Yes, the D3 DOOR32 menu option is a confusing name because this option
actual creates several "door type" files. It creates all of the
following each time its executed: CHAIN.TXT door32.SYS DOOR.SYS
DORINFO1.DEF

I have a bad feeling it might just be some oddness with "qemu".
Its neem throwing some crazy errors like: get_cluster_count_for_directory:
Assertion `mapping->mode & MODE_DELETED' failed. Aborted

Wondering if there is anything I should add to my qemu script (Within doors.sh):
qemu-system-i386 \
-localtime \
-drive file='/home/bbs/doors/qemu/freedos.img',index=0,format=raw,media=disk \
-drive file=fat:rw:/home/bbs,index=1,format=raw,media=disk \
-drive file=fat:rw:/mystic,index=2,format=raw,media=disk \
-boot c \
-display none \
-serial telnet::${portnum},server,nowait,nodelay \
-m 256 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Thanks.
