I would love to do that, but lack the programming skills to tackle
something like that.  WWIV 4.24a will run on Win32, but anytime it
"shrinks" or runs an external program from within the BBS (ie. 
door, event, external message editor, etc), it throws a XP error on the DOS
window.  There is one main function that handles the "shrink" to
allow programs to run in the BBS, so it probably wouldn't be a huge effort
for someone that knew what they were doing. It might be as easy as me
taking code from WWIV 5.0 and putting it in my 4.24a, but I doubt it is
that simple.
