I love TDraw, I have used it since the late 80's. Unfortunately
I can't find a version that works with Windows 10. So
... I use Pablo.

around with DOS simulators, but have DOSBox on my PC, maybe

DosBox is pretty painless, pretty much just make a dir for your DOS applications, tell it where they are and launch. I did use it for a few things(mostly games), but I didn't find it good for the BBS.

When you say it wasn't good for the BBS, do you mean running the BBS within it, or having DosBox installed affecting the BBS's

I couldn't get it to run SuperBBS... might be some foible of Super, might be me




























































































































































































































































not getting to the bottom of DosBox properly. To run anything else, including thedraw not a problem.

I run my board on Windows Server 2003 32-bit on a standalone box.
My test system is an Oracle VM VirtualBox on my Windows 10
workstation. With file sharing and RDP, BBS management is a breeze!
I am convinced that if you want the 'old school experience'
then Win32 is the only way to go!

Shrug, I have MS-DOS VMs, in VirtualBox, I load XFS for nfs client, mtcp for time sync is the only thing I'm using, and rlfossil for my telnet server. VirtualBox does make it easy to jump around from one VM to the next. I'm not sure about your Win32 angle :) Aside from DOS everything else here is linux driven.
