    That's just stupid. What's wrong with it being a regular door? I hate when people make things that are "bbs specific" that SHOULD be doors. There are ton of neat mystic doors that are wasted on shit because they are mystic only.

    I hate having to have a mystic setup to rlogon to so I can run MRC just to spawn off to run it from my board.

    Not many people run wwiv, but more run Mystic.

    Who runs WWiV? I'm talking about regular doors.

    Maybe you're not aware of it, but one of the original and most popular online BBS games that goes by the name "Food Fight!" was written (by Rigor Mortis) as a "WWIV Chain". It works in all versions of Synchronet too, but not most other BBS programs since it sends its output via DOS int21h (not FOSSIL or direct UART/COM I/O), it sends WWIV color codes, not ANSI escape sequences, and it reads WWIV's CHAIN.TXT file (not any other "standard" drop file).

    Shouldn't this be able to run on any BBS that makes the CHAIN.TXT dropfile then?

    No. Most BBS programs do not intercept DOS int21h output from external programs, nor do they expand WWIV color codes (so-called "heart codes" because the escape character, Ctrl-C, can be rendered in CP437 as a heart symbol) to the appropriate (e.g. ANSI) escape sequences for the remote terminal. And for this reason, most BBS programs don't create the CHAIN.TXT dropfile either.
