Yeah, you have to register DoorWay to get past that 10 minute limit, I
explain that early in the how-to and explain why.

The scrolling thing... I don't think there's a fix for that. It's all in the
way screen refreshes happen, and since we're shoehorning something that
wasn't ever meant to be used as an actual door game, it's probably just
something we'd have to live with. I remember I was tweaking the options as
much as possible to minimize that, and I think the example I give is the
closest I got.

The reason I went with DOSBox and DoorWay was to sandbox the games, since
they give direct access to the file system, and I didn't want some unforseen
stuff happening with regards to players being able to access my HDD.

The cfg files that are copied in that part of the batch have a lot of the
same flags I was using for all of the games, and then any extras I might have
needed on a game-by-game basis. It's cleaner, and makes it easier to
troubleshoot games that might need additional flags, that's all.

I'm actually not sure, I never messed with just NetFOSS and DoorWay. I know
there's an example Mike put on his site for DoorWay and such, but I went the
way I did because giving random strangers direct access to your file system,
with no real way to check on that because it's in a DOS window, is kind of
scary.
