With good ole stock ROM and OLC 1.81 and Lopes Color I could run it as
a Window in Windows 98se. Create a batch file with simplistic startup
routine. ie..
@echo off
cd c:\rom24\area
rom.exe *port# here*
exit
or use the one I wrote but the log file part doesn't work:
@echo off
echo Written by Dextar. 12/14/2001
echo Based on startup from Furey, Tony and Alander.
set shutdown=c:\rom24\area\shutdown.txt
goto port
:port
echo Change set port under path to specify perminent port#. Set the path +
port number.
set port=4200
goto dir
:dir
echo Changing to area directory.
CD c:\rom24\AREA
goto set
:set
echo Checking for shutdown.txt if found then the command "shutdown" was
activated hence no reboot.
set shutdown=c:\rom24\area\shutdown.txt
if exist "%shutdown%" goto delete
goto logfile
:delete
echo Deleting shutdown.txt so reboot doesn't work if shutdown was activated.
del %shutdown%
goto logfile
:logfile
echo If you want to have logs in a different directory,
echo change the 'set logfile' line to reflect the directory name.
echo Setting INDEX 1-31, and name of log file. Once 31 is reached
echo all log files are deleted and cycle starts over.

The only thing is you need a file called choice.com placed in the area
directory along with your rom.exe. The only files able to be created by ROM
is shutdown.txt, bugs, typos I believe. Now with Quickmud bits. I double
click cygwin, cd c:/rom24/area, type gdb rom.exe, while in gdb window click
on console and it gives a prompt <gdb> type run *port # here*. It will run
with gdb monitoring the .exe. Thats about it.

P.S. Sorry for the long post.
