Sean,

 DS>   I saw a deal from Best Buy today, where apparently Windows 11 will be
 DS> 64-bit ONLY. But, I understand Windows 10 will be supported into
 DS> sometime in 2025. I just hate to lose all the legacy doors.

 SD> You don't have to.  Use NTVDMx64.  I have talked about it here in
 SD> Micronet before.

 SD> http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/otvdm.html

 SD> I'd recommend using the Inno Setup installer:
 SD> http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/OtvdmSetup.exe

  I saved the info, and will look at it another day. I was busy with the
Trains Net tonight, and have to do a license exam session in the morning,
before storms arrive Saturday night into Monday, which means BBS downtime.
The community of Batesville, north-northeast of Little Rock, had both
severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings earlier today.

 SD> I don't have a Windows BBS installed but I was able to run my DOS doors
 SD> locally without issue as a test under 64-bit Windows 10.

  Interesting. If that works, then I might look at a new computer for the
BBS. But, right now, that's the least of my worries. The bathrooms are to
get rebuilt next week, after a plumbing incident 4 months ago. Had I not
been involved in a car wreck in January, that wasn't my fault, and had I
not had this plumbing issue, I would've had some extra money to work with.

 SD> One of these days, I will start producing 32-bit Windows doors and
 SD> hopefully 64-bit Windows doors also (if I can remember how to do the
 SD> cross-compiling stuff again).

  Keep me posted on the progress.

Daryl
