   Then was there 3 files to lnx4games there got erroring the most time but I   
   find out that in external.bbb and filedirg it was writte as lnx4games when   
   harddisk directory was made as lnx4game, so I set bbbs to use dir lnx4game.

   It should be the same for windows as for linux should I mean, but as this is   
   telling about in the sysop files is it missing as section in the external.bbb   
   file.   
   The bbbs I have it the old bbbs_nt version.   
      
     Take care,
