I just made a util that runs most all .js Synchronet Doors and Utils. So far testing works great. Works with RGFL under DOS to load a windows door. Should work with NFU as well for NetFOSS. And of course Win32.

I'll see about porting it to a Linux build also. Now I don't need a
sbbs copy to rlogin to run these doors.

Not sure if they connect out to the scoreboards, as the DOS version I made only connects local score board on the BBS itself. So any IBBS games will probably not work with this. But LORD works, KNK, Dicewarz, Chicken Delivery, etc. New Center mostly works, but when getting "read more" pages, its' hit or miss and a work in progress.

Look for it soon on the NewWave Software page.

I looked into doing something like this a couple of months back. At the time, Claude claimed that most of the JS doors that ship with Synchronet require access to the Synchronet user database or other data files.

How did you get around that, or did you find it not to be the case?

Not RG, but for ViSiON/3 we ended up using an embedded Go + js library called Goja. And then just shimmed where the synchronet API calls needed to be made. A lot of trial and error, but it works pretty good. There are some great SBBS-only doors out there.

I wrote "make sure these .js doors do not use any sychronet crap from the bbs and run as stand alone" :)

Claude likes my phrasing I guess. <G>

That cool some others are doing this as well. This isn't specific to RG, it's just in that family. It shoudl work on any BBS software,
