Do you remember the olden days when some authors of BBS external software would
ask for beerware/cardware? I thought that was an interesting idea. But did the >marketing idea really work that successfully? Or was it a total bust?

No. I am assuming that cardware was where they would only ask you tosend
a postcard from where you were from, but the only time I could seebeerware
working would be if you lived nearby (i.e. "buy me a beer").
Sunrise Doors are now free/donationware. You can register them all, but preference is given to those who donate to the coffee fund. I guess you could call it coffeeware? :)

The installer for the latest 16-bit DOS version of said door, ironically, requires a Win32 system (or greater) to actually run, so it could be a version mis-match I am running into with the previous "DOS installable" version (I don't have a Win32 OS on that machine).

Yes, I did put in a ticket for it. I was never certain, however, whether
or not he understood that I was saying that the installer required a higher version of windows than its concents. His responses (original and follow-up) half-way sounded like he thought I was saying it would not run with windows at all (if that was the case, I'd not have cared <grin>).
