  • I'm back!

    From Alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Sat Mar 15 02:59:55 2025
    My BBS, Bunker 3, has been offline for several months
    but I have recently brought it back from the dead -
    using Windows 7. In the past, I was only running
    64-bit door games but now I am going to try using
    32-bit doors. Since I have never tried this, are
    there any issues I should be aware of? And can you
    recommend any really cool 32-bit doors? I go for
    the weird stuff so I am looking for something
    unusual. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    A lot of the old skool doors are 16 bit, so you would need a 32 bit version of windows to run them or run them via dosbox but that is a lot more involved.

    I am running a 32-bit version of Windows 7. Thanks for the advice.

    Then you should be able to run any 32 bit or 16 bit doors! Just follow the instructions for doors for your bbs software and the individual door instructions!

    I am trying that now. Thanks for the advice. I ran a BBS back in the 90s for 5 years or so but I have forgotten most of what I knew back then.
