|    Need some help    |

      MSGID: 1:18/200 5d666fbf       CHRS: IBMPC 2       Hello All.              From my post in BBS_CARNIVAL:              === Cut ===       I need some help from my fellow sysops.              As many of you may know, I am the developer behind the Cheepware line of BBS       doors and utilities. I have been developing these programs since 1998. All of       my programs are freeware and soon will be open source.              I recently switched doorkits to Manndoor that allows me to create native doors       for the following operating systems: DOS, OS/2, Win32, and Linux. The Win32       executable also doubles as a WINServer-native door which means it reads       WINServer's internal files and doesn't need a drop file.              The DOS version can support DOOR.SYS and DORINFOx.DEF dropfiles.       The OS/2 and Win32 versions can support DOOR32.SYS dropfiles.       The Linux version can support all three.              All versions but DOS can support direct connections through a telnet server,       however, with the OS/2 version, I use DOOR32.SYS with a serial port telnet       engine (VMODEM).              I am working on the Linux doors. I have a 64-bit Slackware system with MBSE       set up.              The DOS door works but I am hunting down a non-fatal RTE right now.              What I need help with is testing.              For the Win32 version, I need help with learning how to set up the door with       the various Win32 software out there. I know that the DOOR32.SYS stuff works       but I'd like to know how the direct telet works as well as how the WINServer       doors work (and how to install them).              If you're interested in helping, please let me know. I prefer netmail and then       email (sysop@outpostbbs.net).              Any and all help would be appreciated. For your efforts, I'll compile a custom       version for your BBS saying the door is "registered" to you. :)              I have verified that the OS/2 native version is working properly. The DOS       version, again, is working properly but there's a non-fatal RTE I'm working on.       === Cut ===              Thanks,       Sean              --- GoldED/2 3.0.1        * Origin: Cheepware WHQ (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 227/114 229/354 426 1014 2320/304       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
