    Yes, and I went through the documentation twice, and redid the configuration file, as per the docs, but it kept giving me an Error 62.

    I assume you already saw #2 under Troubleshooting in TRIVIA.DOC then?

    "If you encounter an Error 62 (Input Past End of File), BEFORE you see the
    opening screen of the Door, your problem will more than likely be associated
    with the CFG file. The error 62 means that you do not have enough entries in the CFG. Compare your CFG file with the CFG definition in the DOC file."

    My CFG files contain 34 lines. Do yours?

    If a door is freeware, or registerable, I'm interested. Otherwise, I'd just get it for downloads only...and I already have several trivia doors for download.

    You might also like Tournament Trivia. The author (same person that wrote DoorMud) released it as open-source some years back.

    Craig,

    Yes, I saw that. I just did a fresh install, and copied stuff to other directories. I also created and imported a question file, but some of the options that the documentation refers to aren't in the program.

    I like the option to create a file, then import it.

    wrote DoorMud) released it as open-source some years back.

    I will have to look on The Titanic BBS again...I looked for several
    programs, but most all were shareware (and possibly abandonware).
