  • Doorway

    From zarniwoop@21:3/185 to All on Sunday, January 25, 2026 11:18:04
    Hi All

    Is there any way to get a fully working Doorway setup (ie the software from PCMicro). Site is basically stuffed and while I'm more or less OK to pay for a registration - one cannot! Can't add to a cart, can't go to a secure gateway for payment.

    My searching online finds that people have not had much success getting a response form them - so effectively abandonware now.

    If no options are available (inlcuding other licensing keys, etc) - is there an alternate to it as a DOS door gateway? I find the method found online toget it up and running quite good - perhpas needs more tweaking, but had no major problems with it.

    This would be running on a Windows 32bit system fyi..

    Cheers!

    Just to clarify... what purpose do you need to use Doorway for?

    At the moment, just to server DOS/Text based games. Using the script / setup from Maskreet @ Throwback BBS.

    Yes I purchased a license off them last year. No issues.
