   yeah, some of them do it in the script file that executes the door... others   
   have a tool that shells out to extract the data packets and import them... it   
   is possible that shelling out is causing problems...   
      
   when i was running my RA system on OS2, my OLMS mail door started mucking up   
   and ""crashing"" the node when it went to shell out to pack up the new   
   messages... i write ""crashing"" but what it was on the screen was a supposed   
   memory error and the node was in a tight loop... the only way out was to close   
   the task and reset it... the problem happened for a while and then would go   
   away for a while... then it would come back again...   
      
   i suspect it was something to do with the DRM protections but don't have any   
   proof... since the author released a generic registration key when they got   
   out of BBSing and supporting OLMS, that's what i used because they were   
   already gone by the time i decided to use the door... it is possible that it   
   was simply a bug, too... maybe in OLMS or possibly in 4DOS... i dunno... it   
   happened exactly the same in 4 different versions of 4DOS and i know that i've   
   implemented DRM protections in some of my programs that did similar antics as   
   what i was seeing...   
      
   if i could have contacted the author, i would have... possibly even offered to   
   take over the project but all contact information was scrubbed and he wasn't   
   showing up in any searches so... oh well :shrug:   
      
   )\/(ark   
      
   And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was   
   so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected   
   up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing   
   the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn   
   it off.   
   ... Never lick a gift horse in the mouth.
