I was wondering if anyone could help getting an old bbs door game working.
It has the old pascal crt bug. I've tried patching and it doesn't work either way.
I can get it to work on one computer with dosbox .63 or rather one of the executables. But can't get the communications to work with .63.
The game is ftp://archives.thebbs.org/door_games/doors_d-f/ec150.zip

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks. I got that part working. Then I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get it to work with my bbs. But I finally got it. Thanks again, you pointed me in the right direction.
