Playing around with adding some Infocom and BSD games as doors. Problem
is the Infocom interpreter, Frotz, plus most of the BSD games can be exited with Ctrl-C, which has the slightly annoying result of dropping
the caller to a command line.
There is FrotzDoor, but I haven't been able to compile it on my Pi.
But in general, is there a way to trap Ctrl-C breaks to return to Mystic rather than a command line?
Not sure, but I host a TON of old Infocom and other text adventure games
It also traps CTRL-C through the use
of DOORWAY.

Ah, wait. Just caught your tagline

You're running DOORWAY on a Pi? Tell me more :-)
I'm running on a Pi, so I can't run DOORWAY or DOSBox. I'm just using Mystic's built-in DD or D3.

You can do DOSBox on the Pi
DOSBox is
hard to setup (for BBS use)
