• Cheepware update

    From digimaus@618:618/1 to All on Thursday, February 09, 2023 10:47:08
    Last night I was able to create a fully-functioning version of my "The
    Masgic Oracle" door for FreeBSD. I'm going to work on porting another one
    of my doors for practice then I'll fire up my ArcaOS VM and set things up to generate OS/2, Win32, and DOS versions of the new doors. I'll need testers
    for these new versions. I am mainly interested in the FreeBSD doors, of course, but I figure since I have the capabiity to generate those binaries,
    I might as well do it.

    For *nix users, there's "some assembly required" to make sure that all of
    the file permissions are correct for you to run the doors but if you're
    using *nix, you're already used to it. <G>

    I will be (eventually) putting the source code to all of this up for public consumption either on Sourceforge or Github.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm getting closer to getting ready for testing. I'm trying to work out an annoying but harmless bug in the DOS versions of Cheepware as it's an issue with Manndoor. I've reached out to Rick Parrish but have yet to hear from
    him.

    I'm finally working on the documentation also. There's a lot to cover with five supported OSes. Working on a text version first then will work on a
    PDF version.

    Once I get things a bit settled here, I'll upload all of the source code to
    my Sourceforge repo.
