Hi,
I wrote DnDBBS and still have the original source.
It works well with few system requirements in XP.
It does require ANSI.SYS and SHARE.EXE to be loaded in either:
CONFIG.SYS or CONFIG.NT (in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\)
If you cannot start ansi.sys then try dvansi.com
It also requires a FOSSIL driver such as:
X00 or BNU..
The DnDBBS will work in DOSbox, DOSbox-X, Vdos, and VdosPlus.
(to run share start VER SET 7.0)
If share won't start then try fakeshar.com or noshare.com
