       Hello mark!              26 Oct 15 13:47, you wrote to me:                      ml> 24 Oct 15 16:03, you wrote to me:               DA>> Let me know if you can achieve this.               ml> i have been able to do this and perform limited testing on a vista        ml> box... i do not have RA installed on winwhatever... i do not have        ml> telsrv or gamesrv installed, either... the testing was done by taking        ml> the resulting d32sys file generated by RA and the .bat file over to        ml> the vista machine... then i simply ran the .bat in a command prompt        ml> window to generate the door32.sys file...               ml> i had to change the way i can do it on OS/2 with 4DOS... instead it        ml> has to be done in a very ugly way which requires changes the RAT        ml> file... as noted previously, SOCKHAND should be set in NF.BAT using        ml> the modified gamesrv command line and the modified NF.BAT i posted in        ml> a previous message...                      ml> the menu command line in RA is               ml> *c /c c:\ra\d32sys.bat *r *m               ml> this menu option should be limited to only ANSI users and only those        ml> connected to the com ports used for telnet... users on dialup modem        ml> comports and without ANSI enabled should not see this menu option...                      ml> the RAT file is...               ml> ==== Begin "d32sys.rat" ====        ml> LINE01=2        ml> LINE02=%SOCKHAND        ml> LINE03=^Kr        ml> LINE04=RemoteAccess 2.62        ml> LINE05=%RECNUMB        ml> LINE06=^Fa        ml> LINE07=^F3        ml> LINE08=^Fo        ml> LINE09=^F_        ml> LINE10=1        ml> LINE11=^Kw        ml> ==== End "d32sys.rat" ====               ml> ^F and ^K are the actual characters... generally they are entered in        ml> DOS editors via CTRL-P CTRL-F and CTRL-P CTRL-K...                      ml> the BAT file is...               ml> ==== Begin "d32sys.bat" ====        ml> @echo off        ml> SETLOCAL        ml> echo D32SYS.RAT Testing...        ml> if not exist DOOR32.SYS then goto jump        ml> echo deleting DOOR32.SYS        ml> del /q door32.sys        ml> :jump        ml> REM SOCKHAND should already be set by NF.BAT before loading RA!        ml> echo SOCKHAND=%SOCKHAND%        ml> set RECNUMB=%1        ml> echo RECNUMB=%RECNUMB%        ml> echo:        ml> REM doing this for windows is really nasty :(        ml> for /f "delims=" %%x in (D32SYS.) do set %%x        ml> echo %LINE01% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %SOCKHAND% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE03% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE04% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %RECNUMB% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE06% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE07% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE08% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE09% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE10% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo %LINE11% >> DOOR32.SYS        ml> type DOOR32.SYS        ml> echo:        ml> echo Returning to RemoteAccess...        ml> ENDLOCAL        ml> ==== End "d32sys.bat" ====              Excellent work man!               ml> only three items need to be hardcoded for this to work properly...        ml> everything else is set in the RAT file so that the values are correct        ml> for each individual user...               ml> one possible problem may be the user's security level being passed...        ml> some systems only allow for security levels 0 thru 255 while others,        ml> like RA, allow for 0 through 64000... if this does cause a problem,        ml> the only suggestion i have is to adjust one's security levels in RA to        ml> be within 0 through 255...                      ml> the d32sys.bat can be named anything... i would continue to use the        ml> d32sys.rat file, though... the only change in d32sys.bat would be to        ml> change the "type door32.sys" line to execute the door needing        ml> door32.sys...               ml> eg:               ml> RA menu line        ml> *c /c c:\ra\d32sys.bat *r lord *m               ml> and in d32sys.bat replace the one line "type door32.sys" with        ml> something like "c:\bbslink\bbslink.exe %2"...               ml> if bbslink.exe needs the socket handle, pass it using %SOCKHAND% as in               ml> c:\bbslink\bbslink.exe %2 %SOCKHAND%              BBSLink for Windows is based on R&M Telnet door so all it needs is to read the       DOOR32.sys and the door code.               ml> now i wait for someone else to test it all together and report success        ml> or not ;) O:)              Great job.               ml> FWIW: if someone wants to run door32.sys doors with dialup modem        ml> nodes, some more changes will be required to fix the first line of the        ml> door32.sys file from the hardcoded value of 2 for telnet... i won't do        ml> that for now but it will take some additional .BAT magic similar to        ml> how we set SOCKHAND before starting RA ;)              Now the hardest part. In order to help our frind Manuel Adorni, we need to       translate all this to Spanish. ;)              Dennis                     ---        * Origin: The Wall Caribbean & Central American Hub (1:135/301)    |
