Because of the way it's written, it would not work in dos without some major tweaking. It does work on linux and osx. I've not tested it under windows, but I'd wager if you have the cygwin environment installed, it would work just fine. It runs as a server, and you can telnet to it to connect and play the game. As I mentioned before, it's the gpl open source version of ioresort.com, It's not exactly the same game, but it's evolution into ioresort is very obvious when you see it working. This guy has been writing these kinds of games for many years, as I mentioned before, starting with czarwars and seatraders, back in the 90s, so it's an interesting study to see how things have evolved for this game since the bbs days.
