  • MagiChat and BBS Lister; On a Pi?

    From paulie420@21:2/150 to All on Wed Nov 25 11:22:31 2020
    So apam, I *did* read your blog post about setting up DOSBox for use with doors. I see that both MagiChat and BBS Lister are listed in the doors menu.

    Can a sysOp install these and call them as doors? And if so, since I'm on a Pi, would I use the info in your blog, or similar? I'm assuming that I just need to set these up as 'doors' and then call them from the doors, or any, menu.

    Yes, you should be able to run them both on a pi. You'll need to compile Magichat yourself, BBSList should have a arm32 binary in it.

    You would set them up with the RUNDOOR menu command, and yes, you can
    launch doors from any menu you like :)

    Cool; I'll attempt to work off your blog first, the DOSbox solution... and then I'll branch out if needed. Also, since there might not be many other Pi users, I'll post a message if and when I get them going with a howto, right here.
