I mean, I did get at least Zork I to work with DoorWay and NetFOSS, but no way in hell am I giving that to anyone aside from me. DOSBox has the (supposed) ability to work with a BBS, and evidently people running Synchronet have gotten it to work fairly easily. And the multiple users thing I have sorted out. But I just thought it would be neat to let people play old-school DOS text games, and in a DOSBox environment it looks pretty secure. Anything they could possibly mess up would just get reset next time it opens. --- Mystic BBS v1.10 A58 (Windows)* Origin: throwbackbbs.com -\- meriden, ct -\- (1:142/799) SEEN-BY: 3/0 633/267 280 640/384 712/0 620 848 770/1 @PATH: 142/799 322/759 123/500 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
