drive is owned by the group bbs. The basic ideas how doors should be run written
by Redy Rodriguez are still valid, but some scripts are changed and some dosemu

+files must be copied into the mbse directory tree.
+One very important note: the virtual dos drive is now $MBSE_ROOT/var/dosemu/c +Don't use another location or change the access rights, there will be several +references from mbse to that and only that location for dos support. +Choose another one and you are on your own!
-That's it. +
+ +
+In the virtual c: drive you need some directories that point to several other +mbse subdirectories. You may need at least three of them, one to put netmail in, +one to put files in to send and one semafore directory to tell mbse there is +something to send. For example like this: +
+ln -s /opt/mbse/var/msgs /opt/mbse/var/dosemu/c/msgs +ln -s /opt/mbse/var/boxes/node92_100_60 /opt/mbse/var/dosemu/c/outbox +ln -s /opt/mbse/sema /opt/mbse/var/dosemu/c/sema ++In dos you now have: +
+C:\MSGS +C:\OUTBOX +C:\SEMA ++In
C:\MSGS
doors may put *.msg netmails.
+File attaches won't work from these netmails because the netmails
+point to files with dosnames. (May be solved later). The script that calls the
+door, for example c:\doors\bre.bat
must copy the file to send to
+the node outbound box. In the above example that would be copy to
+C:\OUTBOX
.
+To create the semafore to tell mbse to scan add to the batfile (for example
+C:\DOORS\BRE.BAT
the following two lines:
++CD C:\SEMA +ECHO "">MAILOUT ++See also the F.A.Q. for some very usefull tips and +tricks. +Using the same method with symlinks, you can make all paths you need from the +rest of mbse visible in dos. Use with care.
