I am setting up a BBS using Daydream BBS software for Linux.
The good doors are for DOS, and I've been plotting a way to integrate
them with the BBS. Unfortunately, the task has been too much for me. I
was expecting to write a program to convert the daydream spawn data to a
working DORINFO.DEF drop file and insert it into the hdimage, then spawn
the door. However, it seems that I cannot spawn the DOS program from
some sort of single command. I realize that I must create a DEXE file
in order to do this, but I have multiple applications to run. I have
the doors all on one image, and I can change that by putting each on a
seperate image. However, from what I believe, I would not be able to
execute any extra .EXE files that are used as door utilities
automatically (like maintenence programs). The point is to make the
process as automatic as possible so that the BBS user will not be able
to notice where the BBS ends and the door begins, so to speak. Is there
a solution?
