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.
