Hey g00r00, off the wall idea for you. Amiga boards have some cool exclusivemods and games through a scripting language called AREXX. Some BBS Softwares(dlg, cnet) add their own bits and pieces, but AFAIK the language itself isfairly standardized.
If its standardized would it be possible to run them as STDIO doors
using anexisting REXX interpreter? I have no idea if thats even a thing abut I wouldguess there are some REXX interpreters that are out there
for Linux.

AREXX has some slight differences from REXX, specifically file calls and what not. I wonder if someone has already written an interpreter for it. Quick, to Google.
Unfortunately the answer is no, though I do think there are some python REXXwrappers.
Oh well, it was just an idea. hehe.

Are there any AREXX doors that I could look at to get an idea of what
one of the door scripts looks like? I do already have plenty of code
that tokenizes source and can do whatever with it. They'd be good to write a converter, or if somehow it were close enough to MPL I could define an alternate syntax like do for "Iniquity Programming Language" support in Mystic.

You can hit up aminet.net and search for arexx bbs door. You will get a wealth of examples.
Are there any good/well known AREXX doors on Amiga that you know of? I amlooking at something called Yuppie Wars right now.

I will drop a few good ones in your inbound.

Your binkd is sending "\x20" which is wrong according to those specs.

Great point. I will kick up a fix to the git for binkd and hopefully
they willaccept it.
I just put in a work around for it in Mystic in the meantime.
I found a few.

Good new stuff, is being written by Anachronist, he is part of Phenom,
he isreleasing stuff for CNet Amiga all the time now.. Let me know if
you want hisBBS address..

You can pass it along if you want, I probably should give it a call at some point.

I am mostly looking for AREXX doors that are popular/missed from Amiga
to PC but I haven't really found anything unique yet. I have a couple smaller doors like craps and bingo, and then two games that look to be basic LORD clones.
I've played some pretty slick Amiga BBS doors but frankly don't know if they're compiled or interpreted or any other details. My favorite game is called Hack N Slash, but I believe it's compiled. It's also been (basically)ported to node.js to run as a standalone service in a linux environment nowso I suppose that whole thing is moot. But if hack n
slash (also calledrpgbbs or rpgd) is actually AREXX, I think that would
be the ideal one to tryto make work through an interpreter.
