   Runtime Error 3 is "Path not found" so some directory or file is being looked   
   for and failing to be found... XDOOR crashing with this problem indicates a   
   code defect because XDOOR is not catching the error and handling it properly...   
      
      
   FWIW: i used to use an old TSR called iolog.exe to track things like this... i   
   also used the mark and release tools so i could remove iolog from memory when   
   i was finished with it... the following .bat snippets are 4DOS style...   
      
   eg:   
   if exist %FDSEMA\useiolog.sem (   
     REM take a snapshot current memory image   
     mark   
     REM make a semaphore so we know iolog is loaded   
     REM for this BBS node   
     rem>%FDSEMA\iolog%NODE.sem   
     REM execute the iolog TSR tool   
     iolog %RALOGS\raN%NODEio.log   
   )   
      
      
   and some place later we had this to unload iolog when it was not needed any   
   more...   
      
      
   if exist %FDSEMA\iolog%NODE.sem (   
     REM reset memory to marked snapshot   
     REM this unloads all TSRs loaded after the snapshot was taken   
     release   
     REM remove the semaphore indicating iolog is loaded   
     del %FDSEMA\iolog%NODE.sem   
   )   
      
      
   so when we wanted to use iolog, we would create the useiolog.sem file in the   
   %FDSEMA directory and the .bat file would take care of loading and unloading   
   it for us... when we did not need iolog any more, we just deleted the   
   useiolog.sem file and we were done... this made it quite easy to use it in our   
   BBS' controller .bat files so we could use or not iolog without having to stop   
   the BBS... the existance of the semaphores was check at each recycle of the   
   main loop in the .bat file...   
      
   then we looked in the (eg) raN10io.log file for all the IO actions that took   
   place during our BBS' N10 execution time period... these files can grow quite   
   large pretty quickly if one is not careful...
