Hi Gert,   
      
   > I am trying to make a new installation of bbbs_nt to work on a Win7 co XP

   > I got all to look rigt of things.   
   > But when I have tic and files in the inbound directory for bbbs and run 'bbbs

   1st, check the path in your filedirg.000 file. 2nd, check for the same path in   
   your external.bbb file [tick] section.   
      
   > I have the path for the files and directory made for the files.

   If it's not #1 or #2 above, then check the permissions on your hard drive file   
   areas for user bbbs.  I am not sure about Windows, since I run the Linux   
   version but I thought you also control permissions in the same sort of way   
   with Windows.   
      
   Also check in filedirg.000 for permissions in the area, permissions for R&W   
   should look something like this:   
      
   ===example filedirg.000===   
   /                /home/ftp/pub                 Root directory   
   /incoming       /home/bbbs/pub/incoming       @rw:fsysop New uploads   
   /comm  /home/ftp/pub/comm/        @rw:fsysop @r:all [COMM] Comm/term Files]   
   /mail   /home/ftp/pub/mail/      @rw:fsysop @r:all [MAIL] Mail Utilities   
   /pdn   /home/ftp/pub/pdn/      @rw:fsysop @r:all [PDN] Programmers Distribution

   /pdn/pdnasm   /home/ftp/pub/pdn/pdnasm/    @rw:fsysop @r:all ASM Programming

   Check out the [badareas] section in external.bbb.. There, you tell bbbs who to   
   expect new echomail areas from and what specific flags to apply to each   
   imported area your Uplink sends to you.  Then you can run   
      
   ./bcfg4 bad  [Autocreate echoareas]   
    and   
   ./bbbs bogus b [Forward bad mail and write them to BBBS]   
      
   IIRC, There isn't a way to automatically add file echos.   
      
   Maybe Torbjorn will mention something I'm not thinking of here since he runs   
   the Windows version.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
