    Regarding TW2002:

    It does run again now that DOSBOX-X is a thing.

    Hmmm... As I recall, doors don't work properly with original DOSBOX.
    Can you run DOS doors under Linux using DOSBOX-X ?

    I am able to run DOS doors, including TW2002, under DOSBOX-X. Caveat -- the system I am running all of my DOS doors under is a DOS BBS that is also running under DOSBOX-X. I have no idea if you can use DOSBOX-X to run doors in association with a linux BBS such as Synchronet. I have never tried it here.

    Ahhh OK, that's cool. I haven't tried it either on SBBS/Linux, but
    somehow have a memory from somewhere that tells me it doesn't work, for reasons that I can't recall. :-) Maybe somebody else will chip in with
    some more info. Thanks.
