• WinServer and doors

    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to MATT MUNSON on Fri Jul 1 20:19:00 2016
    Matt,

    if i use windows 10/32bit can I still use doors on the new version?

    I wondered about that myself.

    I run my Mystic board on a windows 10 32bit with no problems. Doors all
    work fine.

    I think so. I believe you have to set it up to use legacy console mode.

    That will depend on the doors you have.

    Probably if you have something rather old they won't work.
    Usually 16-bit old DOS software... Try to list all the
    doors you will port to the new OS and find out if they offer
    new versions... That usually does the trick.

    Big issue is when you have a 64-bit OS trying to run 16-bit apps.

    I'll have to do it when I don't have ham radio nets in the evening.
    The nightmare will be reinstalling everything.

    Flavio,

    Big issue is when you have a 64-bit OS trying to run 16-bit apps.

    You can FORGET about running 16-bit apps on 64-bit systems. It's the
    same result of trying to unscramble an egg, or unsay a word...it can't
    be done.

    On Windows maybe. It can be done successfully under Linux.

    not quite true... you have to run 16bit apps in an emulator not unlike running winstuffs in WINE on linux or DOSstuffs in DOSEMU on linux...

    Rumor had it that you could install the 16-bit subsystem as an add-on Windows feature. Can anyone confirm this?
