   I've been looking for a way to make Infocom games available to my MajorBBS   
   users and also allow them the ability to save and load their games - so their   
   progress isn't lost when they log out. Has anyone found a way of doing this?   
   I've found Frotzdoor,    
   but have not been able to dive deeply into it yet.     
      
   Would really love to see this become a reality... we run MBBSV10 on a WIndows   
   2019 server... I think Frotz needs Linux??   
      
   If there's anyone familiar with BBSs and Infocom games/doors/porting... I'd be   
   willing to discuss compensating someones time, as best I could, to get an   
   solution up and running.   
      
   Thanks for a good thread!  Nice to see people still into the old school text   
   games.
