   Hi Steve,   
      
   > Can someone post their opendoor.bz that has a working door.sys and/or   
   > door32.sys door in it?   
      
   Well that's a long file to post here, you know? ;)  You'd have to deal with   
   line wrap, etc. too.   
      
   I'll send you my opendoor.bz as an email attach..   
      
   > I tried adding the code Janis posted for creating the door32.sys file, copied   
   > and pasted it, and now it wont compile.  It comes up with 4 syntax errors.   
      
   It should show you the line numbers where those errors are.. like:   
      
   mb3c.bz:103: Error: Invalid character 017 in string   
           ^^^   
        line number 103   
      
   This is an error in a .bz file I'm working on converting right now, but you   
   can see it tells you where to look for the problem in the bz file you're   
   compiling.

   You can specify the node number and the location of the drop files.. You'll   
   see that in the opendoor.bz I send you.   
      
   > Do I need to tell the door to use a fossil driver?  Or can BBBS run them   
   > without?   
      
   That you will have to check with people running Windows/DOS etc.. I'm running   
   linux here, so no need for that.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
