• dosemu doors (again)

    From Charles Blackburn@1:103/705 to All on Sun Oct 22 15:01:01 2023
    hey all

    having a problem...

    followed the two paes in the wiki about getting dosemu to work, but i can't get the doors to run.

    the bbs starts dosemu fine but it doesnt appear to be creating the d: and e: drives, so external.bat
    doesn't run therefore dosemu exits.

    so needless to say im a bit confused... do i need to re-enable the lredir lines? but i can't see it being that as it doesnt
    appear to be even getting that far.

    dosemu.ini

    the first one is the original one that was there, the second line is the one from the wiki (https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:dosemu2 ), but they both
    do the same thing. any thoughts?

    having a problem...

    I have a solution

    download https://www.endofthelinebbs.com/dosemu2.tar.gz

    untar it somewhere, read the readme, move files into the right place, edit sbbs.ini and it *should* work. If you're using Ubnuntu anyway and why wouldn't you. sbbs just works fine on Ubuntu with no fecking around.
