    From Al@21:3/107.1 to apam on Thu Oct 10 01:39:48 2019
    Hello Apam,

    I have GD and FH running here now. They work over telnet and ssh.. :)

    When I run the door it seems to run in CP437. Is there a way to get the
    door to run with UTF-8? It runs fine it's just the display doesn't look
    as good as it would in UTF-8.

    I also notice the "EXIT" sign in the goodbye.ans is a little off to the
    right. I looked at the ansi file but I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

    Ttyl :-),

    I inserted a blank line at the top of the goodbye.ans so now it displays
    as expected. I don't know if that's the best solution, but it works!

    In the doors.ini, you need to set the codepage to CP437 for the door, then magicka will convert it to whatever you are connected with (in your case utf-8).

    I'm not sure if that's documented or not. I think it's just codepage = cp437 under the door entry of doors.ini

    I've started (slowly) working on porting the documentation to a wiki at https://magickabbs.com/ and updating it as I go.

    I can't seem to get the door to display in utf-8, I'll keep playing with
    it.

    When I press G from the doors menu to goto the logoff menu the connection
    is dropped leaving behind nodeinuse.? so I need to delete that file to
    get back on the BBS.

    Can you please send me your doors.mnu and doors.ini files to check

    Ok, the problem here is for some reason the doors.mnu was missing a new
    line at the end of the file. Menus are a bit finicky about that :)

    Looking over the code, it looks like I never implemented conversion of
    code pages for doors over SSH (only telnet).

    I'll have a play soon and see if I can get it working, but might do it in
    a branch so I don't mess up what's already working.

    Apart from my gitlab page, i don't have my doors up anywhere. I think
    agency has a bunch of them, and possibly 20 for beers.
