    "For those of you using NTVDMx64 to run a DOS BBS under Windows x64 and NetFoss64, be aware that there is a bug in NTVDMx64 builds after 06/06/2021 which will cause the batch file to crash as soon as NetFoss64 is loaded. This includes the version released on Columbia University's site in January 2022. You can get the working 06/06/2021 build by using the Wayback Machine hosted by
    Archive.org and entering the Columbia U. URL there and then selecting a point in time before January 1 2022 to download from. I have submitted a big report to Leechers GitHub page including a test bed to help him to duplicate the issue."

    Mike,

    Attention Daryl!

    The BBS (for now) is on a Windows 10 32-bit system...and the CPU is
    too slow to run on Windows 11 64-bit...never mind I can't afford an
    upgrade due to medical costs.

    It looks like I fixed the door issue with switching the dropfile
    from DOOR.SYS in the fossil doors that had quit working to the
    DORINFO1.DEF dropfile. I haven't gone back through and tested all
    of them just yet, but preliminary indications was that it solved
    the problem.
