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.              J              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
