I'm using dosemu2 to run DOS doors.  I'd have to check its documentation, as I'm not sure how I'd do that.

Also, for sysops running their BBS in Win32, I'm not sure if there's a way to do that..  Win32 can seamlessly run 16-bit DOS apps, and I don't recall ever seeing a way to modify the date just for its virtual DOS machine.  Maybe there is a way..
