I think I am out of luck using the dos doors. I tried some with
errors.
I am running Linux... any way to port those to a very well used
version of dosbox? ;)
I refuse to use MS products again...

On Linux, you'll probably have much better luck with Dosemu than you would w Dosbox.

I don't blame you for not wanting to run MS garbage anymore... if Windows were the only choice I wouldn't be running a BBS anymore.. I worked as a computer tech for years and got so sick of cleaning up Windows machines I swore I'd never again mess with that crappy OS again and I have not looked back! I converted my family over to Linux several years ago and have had
to make very few house calls since. I'm not bashing windows users.. to the contrary.. I used to make a nice living off of Windows users.. if you like it great! Techs need your money!! But I won't have anything to do with
it.. The ONLY MS program I run now a days is the QB 4.5 compiler from time to time and I run that under dosemu. Most older dos based stuff runs fine under dosemu (or dosbox) and a lot of Win32/64 stuff runs ok under Wine or Mono.. Even so.. I mainly stick to open source programs.. there is little need to run expensive proprietary software now-a-days.. better to run open

What flavor of Linux are your running? dosemu should be in most repositories and as such require very little tinkering to get it optimized for your needs.

well, it's good to keep your options open. i'm not a microsoft hater. i'm mo of a google and fb hater now. those guys are out to take over the world and own you. microsoft just wants to make money like any other company.
i never had to pay a tech to repair one of my windows installs. i think most the time it is the user who craps up the operating system, so regardless of what os you are running, shit will hit the fan eventually because people are the weakest link.
there are some things that windows is just better at, and that is why it's such a popular operating sytem. i run windows and linux oses, but i can not even force myself to use a GUI under linux. i dont like any window manager i see. i dont like the feel of any of them. i prefer windows, command prompt, powershell. with linux i'm cli only.
i converted my mom over to linux because her foster kids kept on fucking up computer. she couldnt do the same things she could on windows, and even when offered open source alternatives, she'd rather use windows. so, she gets windows with a restore usb drive to fix any screwups.
I don't hate MS prods either. I just have been using Linux for so long now that whenever I fire up windows I am frustrated in 5 minutes that i can't open a terminal window and launch a command I want instantly.
(And please don't equate Linux CLI to windows cmd options. Thats like the mouse being compared to the elephant. Linux is the big grey one with the extra nose baggage.)

Oh, and Novell was very, very stupid.
I was a Novell CNE in a former life; it was a great package, but I felt like hubris killed them. They had a better directory service than old
AD, but AD was good enough, and a hell of a lot cheaper.
That was right about the time NT 4.0 became a sorta-worthwhile server product. Novell had them on uptime, but NT was Good Enough. It probably didn't hurt that getting Windows95 to work with Novell servers was never easy, and NT just worked.
Later on, I got the feeling Ray Noorda and Scott McNealy were more interested in showing Microsoft the finger than competing -- maybe
they'd given up at that point.
I think about Novell from time to time. My company now occupies the
campus that Novell used to have in the late '80s. I remember going to Novell user group meetings there - they had dry cleaning and day care on campus, and seeing high chairs in the cafe threw me for a loop. big
lawns, walking paths, fountains and a koi pond. I was working in a basement that looked like the IT Crowd's office space at the time...

Yeah, I agree with that. NT4 and Windows 2000 (much more 2000 as had AD) really broke them. It was good enough, and cheaper. Cheaper wins the day around here...

One of my favorite work computers was a a Sparc 2 with a Weitek
