Assuming it's in /mnt/c/sbbs/xtrn/doorname or similar...

You should be able to use the wsl command to launch a stdio linux door, 
I don't think SynchroNet itself will know/care that it's "linux" or not.

When you launch wsl, the working directory should be your directory in 
the shell... That said, you may be better off with the door code/files 
themselves inside WSL, as the boundary connection is less than stellar 
for file locking from multiple processes.  You can still reference the 
appropriate node directory via /mnt/c/sbbs/NODE# as needed.
