Hi

I've hit a bit of a stumbling block with my BBS and NetFoss. It seems
NetFoss will only work on one node at a time for me.

If I try and launch a netfoss door on a second node, it will either say
that the node is in use, or some other thing would happen (usually the
BBS closes).

Doors do work on 2 nodes at once, I can run For Honour and Galactic
Dynasty at the same time without issues. The obvious thing (to me) would
be that some how netfoss thinks both nodes are node 1 or something, but
I've tried both using door32.sys to pass the node number and manually
passing it in the batch file.

It's kind of an issue as I am using Tiny's OpenEdit as the message
editor, and two people might want to write a message at the same time.

My BBS uses threads, each node is a different thread, doors are launched
as separate processes and on windows passed the socket handle.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

I've hit a bit of a stumbling block with my BBS and NetFoss. It seems NetFoss will only work on one node at a time for me.

For those playing at home, the correct solution is to add
CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE to the flags of create process.

NetFoss now works correctly, but in the mean time I ported magiedit to
windows :P

Glad you got it working, and Magiedit is much better then openedit
anyway so it was worth doing! ;) Send me a copy and I'll add it to
ezycom in my editor selection. (or attempt to!)

I dunno, I think OpenEdit is better. What windows is EzyCom running on?

Openedit has a lot of features... The big problem was I broke a lot of
them when I removed the insane amount of copy protection BS that was
in it. In hindsight I should have just released a reg code generator.

Oh right! Chances are Magiedit won't work. LOL I'm still running
windows XP for the BBS. I know I should upgrade it but....

I'll have a look tomorrow. I should be able to compile it the same way I
do FH and GD, and I think then it might work on XP.

Yep, around 10 years or more now.
