Mystic on MacOS

Hello Byte,

 BI> Speaking from experience, the problem with running Mystic from any Mac
 BI> is that door games won't run.

That's a bummer. On linux there are a few ways to run old dos doors but I have 
no experience with a Mac.

 BI> I couldn't even get the built-in BlackJack to work.

That's odd. the BlackJack game is not a door, it is a script that Mystic runs 
itself. Do you see any error messages when you try to run it.

 BI> And most of the good door games run in DOS.  I suppose a workaround
 BI> would be to use the game servers out there...

Yes, the game servers would work. Isn't it amazing the number and variety of 
truly great doors that were written in '95ish, that we are still running today?

Can you run doors with source that were designed to run on linux? apam wrote a 
couple of doors (recently) called Galactic Dynasty and For Honour (like but not 
the same as L.O.R.D.). Both are InterBBS capable and run nicely here.

apam's doors run in Windows also. I wonder if the source would build on your 
Mac, but I don't know.

 Ttyl :-),
