You mean the one where I still tried to help you (and still are) despite your
disrespecful tone?

Its not really any different in Mystic as it is in most other DOS-based BBSes,
and it takes roughly the same time.  You probably have a simple typo or a
misunderstanding on how things work, but no one can help you if your motivation
is to complain and insult, and not to actually get your doors working.

Here's how doors in Windows work:

Mystic executes NetFoss.  If you see NetFoss in your terminal like you said you
did, then 100% of what Mystic has to do is being done.  *NetFoss* then executes
your door and based on your door configuration it redirects its fossil IO...

If the door doesn't work but you see NetFoss in your terminal, then you know
the problem is not on the Mystic step.  If it were then NetFoss wouldn't show
up in the terminal.

 IJ> Of course I have the doors configured to look into the \mystic\temp?\
 IJ> directory.  Been playing with BBSes since 1991...

The bottom line is this: You need to provide full details on your setup if you
want help, and doing so without tossing out insults about the software would
probably do you a solid too.  You haven't done either of these.

Some people do the "but of course I didn't make a mistake I've been doing this
for forever" and get salty, while others post their stuff and get things
accomplished.  Which person do you want to be?

Okay sounds good... and if that is true then why are you making this post?
