That's what I've done.

In case anyone's interesting, I spun up a BASH script file to automate some of my BBS daily tasks. The main purpose is to create a four-pane
tmux session and load each of the Mystic client, server and NodeSpy in separate panes so I can monitor everything. I've also added a few other features, like manual mail exchanges and backups.

Interesting idea. :)

Probably no one else will find it useful, but if you try it and find
ways to break it I haven't thought of, let me know.

I have the zip file, had to use a different tool to get it to unzip.
I'm wondering if it would be better to post it as a text file?
But it seems to have some control codes or somesuch in it when I viewed it in notepad++ so am unsure if that's a starter.
Perhaps I just rezip it and hatch it, but I'll also need to add a DIZ file
into it.

Do you mean post it here? It's kinda longish at 355 lines, and word-wrap
might mess up some stuff. Or perhaps you mean somewhere else?

How much friendlier to VM's is OS/2 than DOS? I always just bypassed it in the
past. I do know someone with a complete Warp package so at least I'd have a manuela as well.

Anyway just a thought... next time I spin up a VM from scratch I might look into it.

Did it appear to have any load improvement over DOS that

In my experience starting a DOS VM results in a load increase on the system by 1, so you'll only ever get 1 VM per core or assuming single core per processor.
If I start two on my core 2 it produces a load avg of 2, if I ran it on the power hungry xeon quad core it produced 4.

In other words DOS utilises the CPU time 100% for each VM you start. If OS/Who's is less than that, I might consider investigating it.

working, but the hardware differences make that tricky.

Whyfor difficult?

Can you rephrase?

Whats so tricky?

The meaning of "whyfor" - not an expression I[ve ever used.

Whyfor difficult?

Wow, I have to say its not one I use everyday, but obviously no-one has explained the whys and wherefors to you. :)
