MannDoor v4.05.20
MannDoor is a Pascal based BBS development toolkit. Unlike some other kits, it is free and open source, and configurable enough to write not only doors, but full-fledged BBS systems!
Some reasons you might want to use MannDoor over other kits:
- Supports DOS, FreeBSD, Linux, OS/2 and Windows
- Supports Borland Pascal, Turbo Pascal, Free Pascal, Virtual Pascal and Delphi
- Can compile Win32 binaries that work via serial (dial-up), socket (telnet) and door32 (WINServer). Most other kits require seperate binaries for WC5 support!
- If that isn't enough (no other kit can claim that kind of support by the way), porting to new compilers/platforms is incredibly simple
- Comes with full source code! This one should be a given for any kit, but some people still release only compiled units which makes it impossible for you to make changes or possibly bugfix the kit
- Always up to date. Many other kits also use EleCom, but only MannDoor uses the latest version
- The most accurate local ANSI emulation available. I've tested many units, and none come close
Some reasons you might want to avoid MannDoor:
- You don't like free stuff with source code
- You like limitations
