I had mentioned this before, but the suggestions tried haven't worked.

One of the doors on the BBS is a door called RIPDOOR, originally done
by former GT Power BBS Sysop Bill Watts (unfortunately, I don't think
it's registerable anymore, but I do have a registered copy of it).

The door allows users to download RIP Graphics programs (such as
RipTerm and RipTel) and RIP Icon packages for various doorgames. It
works with or without a fossil driver, and supports several different dropfiles.

Supposedly, all the comport routines are handled within the door
itself, so no comport redirection is needed. The thing that does NOT
work in the door is the actual file transfer. The documentation states
that you must set the DSZ environemt variable for proper
operation...noting that "SET DSZPORT=x" (where x is the number of the
comport you're operating on...and to be sure that DSZ.EXE or DSZ.COM is
in the DOS path. I had put it in the door directory itself, thinking
that would work...but I guess I need to put it into the path of the
AUTOEXEC.NT file (I run Windows 7 32-bit).

Even though RIP graphics are rare on a BBS, some systems have the
screens for it, and some doors have RIP screens as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

You'll likely have better luck using fdsz.exe. Just copy/rename to dsz.exe and try that.
