Sean,
I saw a deal from Best Buy today, where apparently Windows 11 will be 64-bit ONLY. But, I understand Windows 10 will be supported into
sometime in 2025. I just hate to lose all the legacy doors.
You don't have to. Use NTVDMx64. I have talked about it here in
Micronet before.

I'd recommend using the Inno Setup installer: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/OtvdmSetup.exe
I saved the info, and will look at it another day. I was busy with the
Trains Net tonight, and have to do a license exam session in the morning, before storms arrive Saturday night into Monday, which means BBS downtime.
The community of Batesville, north-northeast of Little Rock, had both
severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings earlier today.
I don't have a Windows BBS installed but I was able to run my DOS doors locally without issue as a test under 64-bit Windows 10.
Interesting. If that works, then I might look at a new computer for the
BBS. But, right now, that's the least of my worries. The bathrooms are to
get rebuilt next week, after a plumbing incident 4 months ago. Had I not
been involved in a car wreck in January, that wasn't my fault, and had I
not had this plumbing issue, I would've had some extra money to work with.
One of these days, I will start producing 32-bit Windows doors and hopefully 64-bit Windows doors also (if I can remember how to do the cross-compiling stuff again).
Keep me posted on the progress.
Daryl
