   Hello all,  its been a minute.  So I've finally had some time to try to get the   
   old KIA BBS back up and running. Several months back, I was able to restore the   
   old BBS.  I built a Virtual WinXP system on a TerraMaster NAS device, and   
   pulled the BBS off a backup. Version is SynchroNet 3.16.  Everything seemed to   
   work then life slapped me, lost my job decided to retire, so I left it sit for   
   a bit.  So I'm back...  I am attempting to upgrade it.  I currently have a   
   Win10 Pro system on the same TerraMaster NAS.  I copied the 3.16 over and most   
   of it worked, except the doors, of course.  I did all the updates to the Win10   
   system suggested.  Then updated SynchroNet from 3.16 to 3.19.  At this point, I   
   believe everything is working.  I have tested several door games, and they seem   
   to be working.  So I think I got all that working.  So that is where I am at   
   the moment.  I did a backup of the system at the 3.19, then attempted to do the   
   upgrade to 3.20.  It failed...  Not sure what happened, but, it seems to reset   
   everything to an initial install.  So I restored back to the 3.19.  I'm having   
   a strange error that I didn't notice before.  If I try to make a change, or   
   shut down the BBS I'm getting:  Failure writing Initalization file:    
   c:\sbbs\ctrl\sbbs.ini.  I'm done some searching in the docs and the Wiki, but   
   am not having any luck finding this issue.   I'm thinking that this may be the   
   reason the system reverted to an initial install.  Any thoughts? My apologies,    
   If you all remember me, I'm rather long winded.  :)  hahaha!
