I didn't really "release" anything lol, it was just a thing I did up as
tgf asked for help setting up doors.

You probably don't need to do that, just rename the occurances of
door.sys to DOOR.SYS in the scripts (I think the only occurance is where
it copies into the node directory).

Also, re your %WCNODE% question in discord (sorry don't have access to
discord right now) That's just an environment variable that particular
door requires to get the node number. So, for other doors it's safe to
just delete that and use %1

Thanks! I've been using DOSBOX for quiet some time now for doors, as it
runs on just about anything. ie, raspberry pi, freebsd, linux, even
windows 64 bit (though setup for that is a bit different).

The only catch is, only one instance of the door can run at once, so no
having 3 nodes playing lord at once, but then that's a limitation of QEMU
doors too.
