  • DOOR.SYS Reference

    From TALIADON@21:3/138 to All on Sunday, March 14, 2021 18:10:32
    Hi All,

    Does anyone know where I may obtain a definitive reference for the DOOR.SYS file format; I have one or two documents, but they all seem a little vague in places?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Best Regards

    I think you'll find that they are indeed vague, and standard needs to be in quotes as many things from the era :)

    door32.sys and dorinfo#.def are generally better bets.

    You can also download Doorway from PC Micro:

    https://pcmicro.com/doorway/DRWY232.ZIP

    In there is a DOORSYS.DOC file which also goes over the format.

    Hallo Taliadon,

    In the Synchronet wiki, many drop file formats are documented, see:
