Install External Message Editors

Installing external message editors for use by Synchronet terminal users is very similar to installing doors.

Types

These are the different types of message editors supported by Synchronet for Windows (fewer varities supported in Unix):

  • 16-bit DOS using FOSSIL I/O (most common)
  • 16-bit DOS using COM/UART I/O
  • 16-bit DOS using Standard I/O (e.g. for WWIV)
  • 32-bit Windows using Standard I/O (none known to exist)
  • 32-bit Windows using Socket I/O (none known to exist)
  • JavaScript (preferred)
