    Is there any chance opendoors is going to become a x64 based compile, or is that idea basically dead with the JavaScript way of making doors?

    There's still a place for a non-JS door kit, but if Opendoors needs updating, someone would need to take an interest and put in the work. Not sure who would do that, but there's always a chance.

    Meanwhile we do have 'dorkit' which is meant to make JS games portable beyond Synchronet. It's probably more likely to get updates and attention. I'm not sure what state Deuce left it in.

    OpenDoors could likely build for Windows-x64 with very few changes, if any. But what would be the gain? 32-bit doors run just fine on 64-bit versions of Windows. <shrug> There might be some imperceptable performance improvement, but practically speaking, I can't think of a reason a sysop would need Win64 doors instead of Win32.

    I don't know, but I thought OpenDoors at least had 32-bit binaries, and 32-bit binaries will still run on a 64-bit OS.

    Also, what do you mean by "the JavaScript way of making doors"? If you're referring to Synchronet JavaScript, it's still very much supported and isn't dead.

    Well, and this is absurd, but I was using Qbasic64 and including OpenDoors which appeared that it would work perfectly. Qbasic64 is 64bit only though and so it choked on compile both just using the .DLL (which makes sense) and the full recompile of OpenDoors.

    In Visual Studio I can compile to x64 (compiles fine, but doesn't execute because it's x32), but when I target x32 I get unresolved external symbols. It's not worth the effort for either of these projects, but it is why I asked. Thanks!

    I didn't mean to say that was dead, I just figured OpenDoors might never go 64 because JavaScript is available.

    Nevermind on the unresolved issue, I remembered I rebuilt the .lib file while I was horsing around with it. I used the original and it began compiling x32.

    So far, Synchronet is the only BBS software I know of that uses JavaScript as a language for mods (other BBS packages use other languages - I believe Mystic uses Python?). But one problem with that is that a JavaScript door would only work on Synchronet BBSes (and aside from that, there is no standardized JavaScript door development API). The advantage of something like OpenDoors is that you can develop BBS doors that will work with any BBS software. So I see no reason it shouldn't go 64-bit if desired.

    There's no standardized native/DOS door development API either, unless you consider drop files and FOSSIL an "API".

    The advantage of something
    like OpenDoors is that you can develop BBS doors that will work with any BBS software.

    Not "any BBS software", but a lot. The 32-bit OpenDoors implementation supports inherited socket descriptor, inhereited com port handle, or stdio redirection. Not all BBS software packages support these door I/O methods.

    So I see no reason it shouldn't go 64-bit if desired.

    Yes, and I think it'd be trivial for someone to do that.

    I had wanted to update SlyEdit to be compatible with Dorkit, but the last time I checked (a couple years ago maybe), Dorkit still seemed to be missing some things that SlyEdit would have needed. I haven't seen any updates to Dorkit in a while.

    Yeah, I'm just kind of tooling around. Qbasic has a neat integration with C++ and even directly to DLLs. It was a random rabbit hole I went down. Thanks for the reply!

    They're parts of the same project. I believe 'jsdoor' is the executable / runtime (along the lines of jsexec), while 'dorkit' is a JS framework meant to provide a compatibility layer. You'd load dorkit into your JS project, and write / port your stuff to work with dorkit, and it would run either under Synchronet or under jsdoor.

    Ah smart, no, it is not working. It comples fine, creates the .DLL, but I just tried to drop it in one of the doors I know is working and got "The Application was unable to start correctly." The file size is also much smaller than the original DLL so I must be missing something, but there are no compile errors.

    Okay, so that'd be the first step: get a working 32-bit build of the DLL using your toolchain, then try building/using a 64-bit target.

    One thing I noticed about that jsdoor.exe is that it was complaining that libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll was missing. I noticed I had that on my system though, in C:\Program Files\Git\mingw32\bin, so I had to add that directory to my path in order for jsdoor to run.

    I noticed that the JS LORD instructions mention you can run it with jsdoor. Is there a jsdoor executable package that is released to the general public? I imagine it would need to include the above mentioned DLL (and I'm not sure if there are more DLLs it requires).

    That'd be a question for Deuce. I have no idea. I *think* he made some public jsdoor release with dorkit and lord.js for other sysops to test/use. He doesn't come around these parts much lately, so you'd have to ask him in #synchronet or on one of his systems maybe.
