    I had Claude rewrite me a DOS and Win32 version of Yankee Trader. Based off of the 3.6 exe's. Since I did no write this myself, I will release the code with the door game so others can tweak it. I'm not a fan of this door, but I have several users are. I'm more of a KNK kinda guy. :)

    Feel free to telnet over and check it out.

    Downloaded and installed the DOS version today. I tried it and it seems to work. A couple of things I noticed:

    It is a little slower than the 1994 (and patched) version.

    It did not display the scoreboard on exit.

    Command stacking does not appear to work or, at least, not everywhere. Example: at the Computer menu, a user can type 3;3000;y in the 1994 version to be taken directly to sector 3000. If I try that in 2026, I am only able to type 3;300 before running out of "typing space." I can type each value separately (3 <cr> 3000 <cr> y <cr>) and it works.
