   Ok, I will rerun it.  To expand.  I attempted this multiple times, initially, I   
   tried to do the upgrade directly to 3.20 directly as was noted in the   
   documentation.  That failed badly, wouldn't load after the upgrade, and yes, I   
   ran the jsexec update.  So on the next attempt, I decided to do each update   
   indivudually, 17, 18, 19 and 20.  After 3.20 upgrade, and doing the jsexec   
   update, the system reverted to new install.  I verified each upgrade,  17,   
   system was working, doors weren't.  Next 18, after the update, the system   
   worked, not the doors, and 19 worked, and the doors worked.  When I did 3.20,   
   the system was destroyed, and was walking me through the initial install, as I   
   stated.  Currently, I did the individual upgrades again, and stopped this time   
   at 3.19, which is what I'm currently running. However I'm getting the error   
   mentioned, not finding the sbbs.ini.  So I will attempt a rerun of the jsexec   
   update, and see if that fixes it.  I'll let you know in a few.  :)
