I would suggest running a 32-bit version of Windows in a VM (and run
the BBS in the VM) if you wish to run 16-bit DOS programs on a 64-bit edition of Windows.

... and THAT, my friend, is why I do not bother with DOORS (other than the stock doors shipped with Synchronet). My main SBBS install is 3.17b(c?) under Slackware 14.2 x86_64 ... trying to get a decent VM or DosBox working
is a bear and, for me, hardly worth the effort :-)
I see you have lots of soltions, good luck

Pardon me ...but doing a fresh install of windows (10? or 8.1? not sure
yet)
thus this box is only for SBBS use...so I am setting it up (now) as 32
bit version of whatever win 10 etc)
thus the whole VM above etc will not be needed right? w/ 32 bit windows
and newest sbbs and doors?
(probably a dumb question but trying to get ducks in a row I have
forgotten much)
thanks

What is the best VM to use for this.

So to be clear NO win 10 O/S either 32 bit or 64 bit can run the 16 bit doors?

64bit editions of Windows do not include the "NTVDM" virtual DOS machine system for running 16-bit DOS applications.

or ... if MS would include some NTVDM hack in their x64 for full backward compatibility ... maybe DM could hack a x64 NTVDM driver of sorts :-P
The problem I have is with the lack of local users. No one's touched my loca PF>version of Global War in months. It's easier for me to connect CoA and BBSli PF>games to my BBS and skip the local installs, and there's more of a user PF>population.
