<h3>Installing a door</h3>
<p>
All doors are started using the script <code>~/bin/rundoor.sh</code>. This script
is never started directly, you should make a copy of that with the name of the
door, but the best solution is to make a symlink with the name of the door. For
example:<br>
<pre>
mbse@seaport$ cd ~/bin
mbse@seaport:~bin$ ln -s rundoor.sh ilord
</pre>
See also inside <code>rundoor.sh</code> for the instructions. This file does
several things, first it prepares the users home directory with the dosemu
environment so that dosemu will run for the user. Then it creates a node
directory in the dos C: drive and copies the door dropfiles into that node
directory. Finally it starts dosemu in virtual comport mode and inserts the
commands in dos to start the door.<br>
But before we can run the door, the door itself must be installed in the dos
partition.
