    There are other games like Yankee Trader that wont run under dosemu and,

    YT does work with dosemu in situations where you are running a dos bbs and
    the bbs is running in the same dosemu session.

    As we are talking specifically about Synchronet, I offer this only as an
    aside.

    yankee trader isn't a popular doorgame with users and probably would only be o
    display for historical purposes where said users would pop in and exit quickly

    It is on my dos bbs. It and OOII are the only two doors where I have
    routine players. TW2002 gets ignored, and the LORD players come and go.

    yeah there's a few people that go to all the bbses and play ooii.
    I had the author setup custom games on one of my bbses. we used to both run datastream bbs after the sysop died.

    so why would yankee trader only work in dosemu if it is executed through a dos bbs?

    I think this is the first time anyone has brought up running a dos BBS under dosemu. I thought we were talking about synchronet here, or do I have to do a disclaimer for every possible sitution?

    so why would yankee trader only work in dosemu if it is executed through a dos
    bs?

    I have no idea about that one. I was actually shocked that it doesn't work
    on dosemu on other systems.

    Well, I take that back. Now that I think of it, I have "held" an older
    version of dosemu so that it doesn't get upgraded. TW2002 works here under
    it, too, so that could be the only reason I am able to get YT to work also.

    I didn't try running YT under the newer version that TW2002 didn't work
    with, so I cannot say for sure it does still work.

    That is my bad.

    To bring it back to Synchronet, I fonud that I had to make a change to dosemu with the latest and greatest of dosemu2 so that it wouldn't brint all kinds of dos info before running a door. Dosemu2 has a wrapper script which has a -quiet option. I placed what the quiet option does into dosemu.ini and all the junk went away. Command to add to dosemu.ini in the cmd key is
    -tDE -exec 2>/dev/null

    Otherwise, I get lots of bad for you dos banner stuff. If anyone has a better idea of how to do this without this stuff, let me know. All I know is that it works, every time, or has worked. I just got bre interbbs to work under dosemu2. If anyone would like those instructions, please let me know. It involves symbollic links and capitalization of directories. Again, it works, and that's all I care about.
