    I using the current version of Mystic and debuian9 and when I try and run a door I am getting this

    Command -> S
    Note that DOS needs 25 lines. You might want to enlarge your
    window before continuing.

    Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel


    Here is the menu data I am using:

    dosemu -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "/mystic/doors/stackem/stackem.bat" %3
    /DOS

    DosEMU uses the size reported by the terminal that it is launched from, I believe there is a way to override this if you peruse the docs you will most likely find the switch to force 80x25

    check line 46 in the above paste...

    and to use the above myemu script with your DOS doors, in mystic, put the command line for the door like this...

    eg for LORD:
    ./myemu lord %3 /DOS


    "lord" is the name of the .bat file in the doors directory that the myemu script will execute... the myemu script does everything needed to be able to execute the door's .bat file simply and easily plus you get a nice log from it...


    eg for Global War:
    ./myemu gwar %3 /DOS


    eg for Stack'em:
    ./myemu stackem %3 /DOS


    eg for Operation Overkill:
    ./myemu ooii %3 /DOS


    eg for Falcon's Eye:
    ./myemu falcon %3 /DOS


    mystic/bbs/doors contains

    none of the above doors are using a FOSSIL driver...

    if you need/want to see the contents of the above .bat files, just ask...
