• DosBox Shim

    Hi

    Not sure if anyone uses this, but I discovered today it didn't work
    properly on SunOS. I thought it worked on Linux, but can't remember as
    it's been some time since I used it.

    Anyway I've fixed it for SunOS, it should also work on Linux still, but untested.

    DosBox Shim sits between dosbox and Magicka allowing dosbox to be used as
    a STDIO door, rather than passing a socket. This means that dosbox doors
    will work via SSH on Magicka. Please note, only one node can use a dosbox
    door at a time (partly due to dosbox's file locking or lack thereof and
    partly due to the way dosbox shim works).
