+Start mbsedos and create a directory c:\doors\8ball.
+Unpack 8ball in that directory and run setup. Test the door with
+the command local. Now goto the directory c:\doors and
+create the file 8ball.bat. That file will be used to start the

+Finally we have to make a menu entry to start the door. The Opt. Data line is

+start dosemu without setting the comport in virtual mode. Use this if your door
+isn't a real door but a normal dos program.
