    Are most bbs door programs 16 or 32 bit?

    Is it up to the dos shell, or the bbs software running the door, that governs if the door be either 16/32?

    Many door programs still seem to be 16 bit.

    Is it up to the dos shell, or the bbs software running the door, that governs if the door be either 16/32?

    Actually, the deciding factor is what operating system/platform the
    program was compiled for. If the door was compiled for DOS, then it
    would have to be 16-bit, since DOS was a 16-bit OS.
