Subj : JS Doors for Synchro

Hey all,

After debating much the same issue as previous threads about Door libraries, I
have come to the conclusion that I might be better off writing doors in JS.
This has the restriction of relying on the Synchro JSOM and therefore
unportable to other BBS platforms. Another downside is uncompiled source open
for all to see--not a problem in this case as I don't mind open sourcing it.

Apart from these restrictions, what are the downsides to this approach?

I've written a few test doors and all works as expected, no need to fiddle with
door libraries and obviously no problems with multinode and 32bit systems... am
I missing the bigger picture?

Thanks for your input guys.

Regs,
