Mark,

ML>you need to be more specific about this... we have no problems running doors
ML>over here that look in the node directories for the drop files... there's no
ML>real special majic to it... maybe some .bat file variables being used but
ML>generally speaking, the doors that are worth running have no problems with a
ML>multinode environment or being told where to find the drop files...

  Apparently, with the directory (Adopt A Door, in this case) having
something like ADOPT.CFG, as well as ADOPT1.CFG, ADOPT2.CFG, etc. SBBS
apparently didn't like that. So, I think what I'm going to do for the
single user doors is use just one configuration file, and put the
dropfile in the door directory. For the multi-node doors, I'd put it in
the node directory.

ML>you can easily dress up the sbbs web interface... there's a few other themes
ML>available as well as much of the interface stuff can be changed via
ML>javascript...

  While I'd be curious to see those other themes, my HTML knowledge is
very basic. I don't know the first thing about items like cascading
style sheets, etc. To me, Javascript is instructions on how to make
coffee. <G>

ML>of all the options, likes, wants and desires you listed, SBBS comes the clos

  I likely will go with SBBS, since I've set it up before. But, with
other things outside the BBS, it's going to take longer than expected to
get all the work done.
