I didn't remember what I had sent you.  I guess I sent the windows build
too?  That would explain it!  But the ANSI shows Debian, and ANSI is
never wrong.  (Except when it is!)

I added some quick door.sys support, and it's working.  I sure get some
weird almost working happenings with Linux/door32.  :P

Ok, I was wondering about time remaining math.  I see door.sys 
line 18 1449 and line 19 999.  

I just grabbed minutes, since that's what door32.sys gives.  :O
I see 999 hard coded, Door.cpp line 494:

- f2 << "999" << LINE_END;
+ f2 << std::to_string(n->get_timeleft() / 60) << LINE_END;

I <3 linux file descriptors, they just work and sockets have 'em.  Weird
windows...

Thank you!

Take care,
