You're going to be hard-pressed to find OS/2-native versions of most doors 
anymore.  The author of LORD has told me that he feels that OS/2 is a waste of 
time for him and he will not develop it (although the doorkit he's using has 
the capability do to so, I guess since he won't be having throngs of OS/2 
sysops worshipping him like he does Win32 and Linux sysops, he won't do 
it...just my opinion of course...).

I, however, write OS/2-native doors and am a sysop.  I only have a couple of 
doors that I've done that are OS/2-native.  I am working on porting the doors 
to a doorkit that will do OS/2, BUT you have to use DOOR32.SYS for the 
dropfile.  Thankfully, you chose a BBS package that can do just that.  Instead 
of writing the com port, you have to write the com handle.

I used to run Maximus/2 years ago and I did write a DOOR32.SYS MECCA script.  
However, I no longer have that script.  It's actually pretty easy to write the 
actual MECCA to do it-I do have my OS/2-native DOOR.SYS MECCA somewhere in 
backups.  I could dig it up for you and we could continue this in netmail... or 
since I'm the moderator, we could continue this in here <G> if no one else 
minded a little banter between us since it is, after all, related to 
OS/2-native BBSing. :)

I run Telegard/2 and wrote a script for it to use DOOR32.SYS doors.  So I think 
I could do that for you too.

Later,
Sean
