    D'Bridge is an MS-DOS application. It may work on 64-bit Windows with
    the NTVDM64 emulator-addon or Dosbox.

    Never heard of this will give it a go

    I am not familiar with Vbox...

    Virtualbox. Sorry, if I wasn't clear.

    Not at this time.

    Would you consider it in future?

    Thanks for your time

    There was discussion of this in BBS_Carnival awhile ago, the guy from PC-Micro updated his Netfoss/Netcom stuff to work with Ntvdm64, successfully.

    Oracle Virtualbox? I played with that a few times. So... you are running a BBS in a virtual OS under Windows 64-bit?

    Yes I will consider adding Jam.

    So, far with the NTVDXN64 D'Bridge is running on my actual hardware fine.

    No, currently running Mystic on my Windows pc. I am toying with the idea
    of running my old BBS Software on this PC with D'Bridge. Just need a tic file processor and sample bat files.

    Yes I will consider adding Jam.

    Thanks.

    D'Bridge has a TIC processor built-in.

    It supports anything that uses either "standard" one-liner FILES.BBS or the "extended" FILES.BBS format of multiple descriptive lines right-justified.
    Nick

    Got it. Thanks
