  • Is Windows7 32bit the only 16 bit compatable doors setup?

    From bcw142@21:1/101 to Windows BBS Sysops on Tue Jun 4 23:56:03 2024
    I know Windows7 32 bit is compatible with all the old software, is it pretty much the newest Windows that is compatible with all the older doors?

    I do suspect Linux with 32-bit & 64-bit might be as well, has that been tried?

    Looking to setup an older games machine and looking at OS right now.

    ... What do you mean, QWK? It took me over an hour to read!

    Windows 10 32 bit seems to be working for me. Sometimes I have to use command.com instead of cmd.exe though for more compatibility. Generally it
    just works.
