  I had another utility enter information into a logfile, which DoorStat
read. But, for whatever reason, the file (even when manually created)
would not be read by it anymore.

  In looking though my files area, I found the Door Fury program from
Nannette Thacker (Shining Star Software)...while she is no longer
issuing updates, one can register all of her doors for $10 from her
website (I forget the URL offhand).

  With some batchfile workarounds, I set the user to the doors as "Bbs
User", in a batchfile that I called "doorcln.bat" for each
of the doors.
Where the DOSFIX TSR was required, I had to put that in a batchfile
called "door.bat" before running the door itself. I discovered that the
old DreamWare doors by Andy Stewart fall into this category.

  To make a long story short, the door usage tally is working
again...and it gives me a chance to add some more doors to the BBS.

  Thanks for the input, though.

Daryl
