      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> ^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> 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

   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. ;)
