    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Tuesday, February 07, 2023 23:54:44
    Hello All,

    I successfully ported "The Magic Oracle" to FreeBSD today. I have some code cleanup to do and a few other things then I will attempt to create OS/2, Win32, and DOS binaries (thankfully I can do all of that under ArcaOS). There's a few oddities with the FileExist function--it works properly under Windows but is reversed under *nix--so I have to modify my code to reflect that.

    I hope to have a proof-of-concept binary for the above-mentioned OSes soon.

    What would be The Magic Oracle be? One that may help me win the lottery?

    It's a door game that you can find on your friendly local BBS that you
    post from... ;-)

    Under 'External Doors' / 'Local Games' / 'Cheepware Doors' / choice #2.
