So I've created a how-to on getting the Windows versions of DOSBox and Mystic
working together to allow Mystic sysops to be able to offer old DOS text
adventure games like Zork to their users.

It seems to be as safe for the sysop's system as possible, and the games
respond just as any door game written specifically for a BBS would (keyboard
timeout, returning control to the BBS after quit/disconnect, etc).

Best of all, each user has their own copy of each game, so they can save their
games and not worry about anyone else messing with them.

The how-to is at http://www.throwbackbbs.com. The link is at the top of the
page, named "Mystic & DOSBox How-To". Just click and follow
the directions!
