WWiV 5 on Linux
Just thought I'd let everyone know what I've been up to of late - working on WWiV 5 on Linux. So far, it's installed and (somewhat) functional, but, because I am compiling it natively, and not running under DOSbox or dosemu (which I *have* contemplated using 4.24a instead), I am having problems with doors. I have to run them under dosemu, and it doesn't appear that the dosemu autoexec.bat is running. When I telnet in, and go to the doors, I launch a DOS door, and it hangs at "Launching..." until I press CTRL-C, then it drops me back at the door menu. I feel like I'm pretty close to cracking that nut, though, at which point I'll work on some networking (WWiVnet, Fidonet, and Usenet... Maybe Dovenet) and let everyone know how to access it once those are done. Very, very close. :)
