32bit port of Shotgun BBS Professional version 2 alpha 10

Gunshot PRO

NOTE: I don't actively develop this project. It was more a case of "can I get it to compile for Windows?" than anything else -- I don't actually plan on running a BBS using Gunshot, so I don't have much incentive to finishing things up. I'm leaving the project up here in the event that someone else wants to run a Windows version of Shotgun, and this helps get them pointed in the right direction.

TODO List

• IFDEF out any ASM code blocks and handle the same as noncompiling code
• Implement any REEPORTs that appear in compiled executables
• Handle any REETODOs that need handling
• Ensure all calls to FindFirst have a matching FindClose (memory leaks if FindClose is not called)
• / instead of \ for paths in Linux
• "Registers" usage
• "Port[]" usage
• APFOSSIL.PAS
• FASTW1.PAS
• BSMOUSE.PAS
• MKFILE.PAS (add routines from EleBBS)
• QWK mail packer menu not displaying correctly
• Not quitting after local login

Completed List

• Make it all compile (or as much as possible) with BP
• IFDEF out anything that doesn't compile and make a placeholder that does a "WriteLn('REEPORT UNIT FUNCTION'); Halt;" (then you can grep the executables for REEPORT to see which REEPORTs actually need to be implemented)
• Rename executables mentioned in code (ie SGECHO to GSECHO in a string in a code file)
• SG -> GS renames
• SHOTGUN -> GUNSHOT renames

Compiling

Windows: Install the 32bit version of FreePascal (the 64bit version may work, but is untested at this time). Execute src\build-win32.cmd
NOTE: You'll likely need to adjust some paths in the .cmd file first
