Hey Sean!

Fun fact about the original Scrabble door: it was created with
Hasbro's blessing, so it was (still is?) the official Scrabble
door.

That makes a huge difference. How is it currently working wrt whatever BBS platform you currently have working and is it multiplayer?

Interested in seeing what you have as that could be run as a
stdio program on my system.

Which system and for what purpose?

At the moment I am working on a text based output for a USB GPS receiver that I
am thinking of replacing with a raspi and an Arduino GPS breakout board which will require some jiggery-pokery on my part to
have it outputting the desired output on the LAN. Offhand I am thinking socat just to keep it simple. Also I'll need to rebuild my customized 64-bit thingy - currently called motorshed, formerly known as medevil - for aarch64-linux-gnu.

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.

It's working okay though the screen drawing is slow for unknown reasons. I'm just thinking it's the homemade FOSSIL driver that is in the software itself. I'm running MBSE 1.0.7.9 under Slackware 64 v14.2 stable with the DOSemu available from Github using PC-DOS 2000 for the DOS setup.

The very one mentioned above. :)

Sounds like fun. I have so much I want to do these days but unfortunately, my job keeps me busy and with two hours wasted each day commuting, I just don't have time anymore. I barely have time to keep the BBS up right now.

Later,
Sean
