  • Steel and Ice 4.00...

    From Martin Kazmaier@1:340/1101 to All on Wed Dec 31 20:53:00 2025
    Ok, I renamed the batch file and removed the & from it as well. I'm running: hockey.exe c:\ele\node%1 1

    It appears to lock up, but I'm not sure.

    I've run: maint

    and it does the same thing... I think it's the maint routine that's locking up, or appearing to freeze. I'm running netfoss before it and have
    modem1.cfg with a single line of:
    Fossil

    I've given the maint routine about 15 minutes to do it's thing, but it never comes back to the command line.

    This is a DOS door under Windows 10 32 bit under EleBBS, but the BBS software shouldn't matter. The node number in the call to the door shouldn't matter, it's only used to determine the drop file name and my system doesn't use dorinfo#.def, it uses strictly dorinfo1.def.

    Hopefully I supplied enough info, a screen cap wouldn't help as there's no output.

    The NTVDM running this is constantly around 30% of my CPU Usage. I'll let it run over night in case this is a weird y2k issue or something.

    Another one I got running by putting it on my sbbs game server... Not ideal, but at least the games work! Just a bit of a pause to load the new
    connection.
