Hello Mvan,

  I fixed that.  Took me a while to figure out it was the FTP / NAT
badness.  Just changed it to use HTTP to send files now.

  Okay then I'm not out to lunch. :)  I just mis-read what you said.  I've
almost got an updated MFM with file_id.diz importing working, just being
held up by time removing the fossil / door code to MFM which is causing a
giant headache in the OS/2, Win32 port.
  Besides does anyone run it as a door anymore?

  I'm going to blame the Ab source code because I have around 30 other
doors using door.sys without a problem. :)

  Exactly.

 ML> copy %max%\dorinfo1.def .\dorinfo%1.def

  I never thought of doing it that way, I changed the dorinfo.mec file with
a bunch of [if task] lines. :)  Your way is much easier.

  I wonder if that's what happened?  Makes sense.

Cheers,
Shawn
