    I ran in to a issue trying to run 16 bit doors under windows and this is how I fixed it.

    1. Install ntvm
    2. On the start menu I typed cmd and under the options tab I clicked on Use legacy. That fixed the issues and allows the 16 bit dos applications to run on Windows 32.

    i think this is the same guy i spent way too much time helping configure arj in mystic, only for him to say "it doesn't work" every time without any sort of explanation why or what he was seeing. basically treating the mystic echo like an AI chat bot.

    but i guess every other person in that echo has very intimate knowledge of how "view archive" works in mystic now..

    Someone was posting a message about bbs doors so I wanted to add this so if anyone else is having a issue with getting the bbs doors to work they will have the correct information.

    Well it wasn't fusion.
    Nobody is having a problem with bbs doors.
