IIRC, that should keep your        MP> user environmnet variables from conflicting between instances.                     My issue right now with it is I can not control two different copies of it in       completely separate directories when I change one it changes both of them and       I do not want to happen like that. On one I want everything working and on the       other I only want Rlogin to work and everything disabled and this one will be       just a game server for two different BBS's I'm going to run. One bbs will be       Synchronet and the other on will be T.A.G. if any of what I am saying makes       any sense. But at this time it keeps changing everything in both copies when I       make a change.               I have also done like what Digital Man suggested load each one from a command       line such as              d:sbbs\sbbsctrl.exe d:\sbbs\ctrl\sbbs.ini              d:\sbbsgsv\sbbsctrl.exe d:\sbbsgsv\ctrl\sbbs.ini              But still no luck getting them to work separatly like I was in hopes of having       it do. So at this time I am not sure this is going to work like I wanted it to.                     Mojo              ---        þ Synchronet þ Mojo's World BBS - mojo.synchro.net        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 13 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840 860 880       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 266/512 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
