You've got to run it under DOSbox or DOSemu but it does work very nicely, much
like the DOS-based BBS doors I've written.

It's not a very actively developed program these days but it's mature and it's
very good for what it does.  The author recently did a big update of MM,
especially making an "official" Win64 build and cleaning up and modernizing  the
codebase a bit.

If someone could make a Chrome OS app out of it, I'd be in heaven so then I
could run it on my Chromebook. :)

Later,
Sean
