I appologize again as i finally realized this is the correct space for Synchronet Support.  When i try to run a basic custom shell, I get this error:

9/19 02:09:20p  Node 1  !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (WinError 2) in main.cpp line 4346 (node_thread) opening "D:\Tools\sbbs\exec\loquinth.bin" access=0

It is looking for a bin file.  In this scenario I wrote the code in javascript and then saved the file named loquinth.js in the exec directory.  The filename matches the internal code.

I verified that all shells installed with the latest version of synchronet have a .bin file in the exec directory that when i remove them the BBS fails to find a suitable .bin file.  Even when the shell as a matching .js file this error occurs.

Are we supposed to compile the .js somehow or is there a step that I am missing in order to get the BBS to execute these .js files as a custom shell?

Sincerely,
David Tawater
