    Why are the version numbers different for Windows and Linux Synchronet BBS?

    Why are the version numbers different for Windows and Linux Synchronet BBS?

    They're not. If you're talking about Vertrauen (i.e. cvs.synchro.net versus vert.synchro.net), that just means I haven't re-build/run all instances of sbbs on Vertrauen yet.

    Aside, I was musing the other day -- would it be possible to launch Linux doors/xtrn programs from Win32 SBBS using WSL2 on the same machine? I'm
    not sure how the output would be piped to the user, but since Win now has
    the ability to directly launch a linux kernal... that would be pretty
    slick. I'm sure this is a naive assumption, tho :)
    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.

    He may be falsely assuming that it causes his messages to be more likely to
    be read, as it would on a social media platform.

    but he's right. he's getting the attention he wants.

    No doubt... he has been mentioned a lot more the past several days as a
    result. :)
