Hi Nick,

   I'm trying to find that v20e version for linux, it's out there somewhere I'd   
   expect.  I'll look some more today.

   Can you copy the directory structure for your Sync/Doors/USURPER/NODE   
   directory here?   
      
   The way I'm calling the door, I tell bbbs to find the drop file in   
   doors/USURPER/NODE/ and I also write it out to doors/USURPER/NODE/nodenumber   
   'just in case' (i.e., directory names 0-14 since I have 15 nodes running here   
   and I created the 15 directories in the NODE directory).   
      
   ~/ls -1 doors/usurper/NODE   
   0   
   1   
   10   
   11   
   12   
   13   
   14   
   2   
   3   
   4  <---DOOR32.SYS also in this directory since I logged in with telnet. 5   
   6   
   7   
   8   
   9   
   DOOR32.SYS   
      
      
   If usurper is expecting something like a directory name such as node# (like   
   NODE/NODE1 or NODE/NODE2, etc.) I need to change the string I create :)   
      
   So, here's what I'm seeing now:   
      
   When I enter the door locally I can play the game (./USURPER /L in a terminal).   
      
   When I telnet in, I see this:   
      
   ====cut here===   
    Your version of Usurper needs to be upgraded.   
      Current: UNKNOWN   
      New    : 0.24   
      
    I tried to upgrade for you, but failed:   
    Unknown/unsupported version   
      
    Please see UPGRADE.DOC for further instructions.   
      
   ===cut here===   
      
   The above makes me think I do need to find v20e for Linux.   
      
   When I log onto my bbs node 2 and enter the door (which is really a local call   
   to the door) I see the same as when I telnet in.. hmmm.... maybe I need to   
   extend that string that calls the door to include an "if local" kind of line   
   to call the door with /L for when I log onto the bbs from a console.   
      
   Argh.. then again, it's Monday    
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
