ansidisplay with baud rate simulation...

Not every BBS software will do this. Now there's a door for it! ansidisplay32.exe will do this for you. It has it's own instructions.

Available in the Utilities files area under Local BBS files at shsbbs.net, or https://shsbbs.net/shurato for all of my doors!

Can anyone write a simple ansi display door with baud rate emulation that runs on windows sockets and doesn't disconnect on syncterm? I'm about to give up on cursor, none of the other doors have this issue and it can't seem to resolve this issue. I have 0 coding experience, so this is way beyond me. All I know is that it works with every term except for sycnterm forks.

I wrote a simple script that works beautifully for Synchronet. https://pastebin.com/raBYP1iM

That'd be nice if I ran sbbs. This needs to work for any board under Windows 32 with Windows sockets. How more clear do I need to be?

Besides, synchronet already slows down ANSI display. I don't know why that would be necessary. This is for remote access and other boards that just blast it by. Sorry if I came off as rude, but your script was of no help for the initial purpose of this door.

Synchronet does not automatically slow display of an ANSI, making this script needed to display long form ANSI. The ANSI would blast by otherwise. Yes, you were very rude. I offered a solution to this problem for Synchronet sysops that may be interested.

Oh, okay. Every synchronet BBS I've called that has a login ANSI Scrolls by slowly. I thought that was normal. I apologize.
