Hi everyone,

I have been working on porting my DOS Turbo Pascal-based BBS doors to Tcl--it
works surprisingly well for BBS doors--and have nearly finished getting things
into a beta state. They're working here just fine, but I'm looking for other
systems to test my "The Magic Oracle" door.

The only main requirements are that your system must be running Tcl 8.5 or
higher and ANSI is supported on the remote caller's end. I've designed the
door(s) to be easy to set up and use. A Windows version is in the works as a
standalone EXE thanks to Freewrap though I'd imagine a Windows-based BBS with
ActiveState Tcl installed with the ability to run stdio programs (in this
case, via tclsh) should also be able to run the doors similar to *NIX.

If you're running a *NIX-based BBS and would like to try it, please let me
know. The docs are being fully fleshed out but there's enough there to
figure it out. <G>

I will be releasing my doors under the MIT License.

Working door...

From: Sean Dennis @618:618/1 *61
To: All @Echomail *61
Subject: Working door...

Hello All,

After switching AIs, I now have a working Tcl-based door! Now comes the best
past: customizing the door. My doors use ANSI so I can use good ol' ANSI art.

The script I use to call my door sets TERM to "ansi" to run the door then sets
TERM back to its original setting.

I'm really excited about this.

After I finish porting my doors to Tcl, I'll work on and update the DOS doors.

Then, for my OS/2 sysops, I'll port the Tcl to REXX. Because I can. LOL

Never tried CoPilot. I used Claude for forecasts, simply because the charges are

f2b isn't too bad once you understand how it works but in order fore it to
monitor MBSDE's telnet port, I had
Microsoft Copilot write the filter and jail for me. I am terrible with regex.

Dial-up Questions...

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:17:00 -0500

From: Shurato @618:300/50 *61
To: All @Echomail *61
Subject: Dial-up Questions...

Vonage just recently started supporting a second line with my single VOIP
device again, so I ordered a modem. I'm wondering how fossil will work with
dial-up, Windows 10 32 bit and my BBS. Will I be able to continue to use
netfoss seamlessly, or will I need to check for the node number in my nf.bat
file and load the appropriate fossil driver (BNU, ADF or X00). Would 32bit
doors using winsock work for these connections? Thanks!
