The post is by 'graffd03', the son of Alan Graff who was a sysop in Ohio and author of BBS door game Buccaneer. graffd03 asked if anybody remembers his father's game and got several responses from people who played it, and who are playing it now.

It's written in C, I compiled it for DOS using Watcom but it should compile wi
any C compiler.

I tried to d/l buckkey.zip on 20 butit keep saying the file didn't exist or something like that
Thanks! I went ahead and grabbed it from your BBS
which, BTW, looks pretty
sharp! I did have a problem after I downloaded the
file. I got stuck with
a repeating Press ENTER to continue prompt. I had to
hang up. Sorry about that.
Now to get it set up to run in a multinode environment.

I got that error when trying to download it from 20forbeers. Then I
went to AKACastor's BBS and was able to download it from there.

To anyone else whose tried installing it and found it slow, there is a bit in the documentation about running the door under multitasking. Technically, my dosemu session is not being mutitasked within itself, but I suppose it should be considered as a multitasking environment
since the OS it runs under is.
Anyway, the OUTBUFF settings the documentation mentions really work! It sped the output up exponentially!
The documentation does not mention what the values in the CFG file are. FYI, line one is the path to your drop file. Also, if your system creates DORINFO# files where # = the node number, Buccaneer is going to want your batch program to rename the file to DORINFO1 before the program starts.
Now to get it set up to run in a multinode environment. It does not appear to support that, so I am guessing I will need to do some magic
in the batch file that calls the door so that (1) the config file
it finds points to the correct drop file path, and (2) the BBS can
let other nodes know that the door is occupied. ;)
I can't get away from an RTE100 error... Any ideas? Even running locally, after entering my name and security level it crashes with
an RTE100. Running EleBBS and I am copying buck%1.cfg to buck.cfg
with the proper directories in each buck(1-20).cfg file. I've tried
the standard buck.cfg file with the local switch and no go.

Good thinking about multinode capability. My system is setup so each node gen
ates a DORINFO1.DEF file, so the drop files work, but it hadn't occurred to me
hat the door has its own data file and may not be able to safely run multiple ssions concurrently. I know better, but totally missed that! Thanks for bring
g that up, and sharing the other configuration info.

I am not sure what RTE 100 is. 200 is the one people get on modern hardware with pascal programs, IIRC, that requires a patch. I at first got an 002 because I had not updated the path in the BUCK.CFG file, but
I did not get an 100 error.

One thing you probably should try is the /N switch. There is a note in
the documents that says if you are not running QBBS/SBBS/RA
you will need that switch so that the door does not look for a file
specific to those systems.
I am not sure why it won't run locally, though. I did not encounter any problems locally once I fixed the pathname in the BUCK.CFG file.
I did not get an 100 error.

Something you may want to try - does the game run without the BUCK.KEY
file? If BUCK.KEY is corrupted it may be possible for the game to error out.

Hm. Could I need to add something to the buck.cfg file? I've tried
using a different dropfile type.

what exactly are you putting into BUCK.CFG on the first line? just the directory and not a filename?
it also didn't seem to like me removing the -----'s from the default config..
with the node in each appropriate buck??.cfg file, then I copy
buck??.cfg to buck.cfg. I also tried with /L which should ignore that entry and create it's own dropfile (c:\ele\doors\buck\dorinfo1.def).

Is the door written in Turbo Pascal? When I first started setting up
a new BBS, I encountered some errors like that with DOS doors, and I
read many of such errors happened with door games written in Turbo
Pascal because modern CPUs are too fast, and there are a few programs
that will patch Turbo Pascal programs so they can run on modern PCs
without generating the error.
Yeah, I'm running Ele, which does create exitinfo.bbs, just like QBBBS,SBBS and RA. I tried /N, supposedly that fixed it for codefenix, but not me. /D didn't help any either.
Pretty certain that is the 200 error. Here is an odd fact... I am starting to run into that issue now in a dosemu instance. However, unlike the other times I have run into it, this time it only happens sometimes. I can try to start the program again and it may run.

Shurato, Another person here posted that RTE 100 likely means that
the program is reading past the end of a file. Is it possible
that you have accidentally deleted a line from the BUCK.CFG file?
If not, it is possible that the drop file does not contain the number of lines the program expects. Someone else mentioned the KEY file, too, but it sounds like you may have already looked at that one.
I would also be sure that the path you entered on line 1 is in ALL
CAPS and ends with a '\'. Not sure that would be the issue but
since the default file was set up that way I kept mine that way and didn't run into the issue you are having.
well, i've managed to get it to work with mystic using netfossil
