    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?

    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.

    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.
