Need help figuring out dosemu and doors with enigma

I have been fighting with enigma 1/2 and dosemu all week trying to
figure out how to get a couple of door to work. I feel I am real close
but quite get it to work. Was wondering if someone could look at the
following codes and tell me if you notice any in-consistences? I'm
working in debian 11 and I can not get dosemu2 to install so I have to
use regular dosemu.

​

For example I am trying to get the door game darkness to work. I setup
a directory in enigma\\\\bbs called doors that I am using to work
with.

​

My config/menus/ bbs-doors.hjson file contains this:

​

\​

  darkness: {

desc: Playing Darkness

module: abracadabra

config: {

name: Darkness

dropFileType: DOOR

cmd: /home/dannygarrett/enigma-bbs/doors/rundark.sh

args: \[

"{node}",

"dark",

\],

nodeMax: 1

tooManyArt: DOORMANY

io: stdio

}

}

the [rundark.sh](https://rundark.sh) file that I created to run the
door looks like this:

BBSROOT=/home/dannygarrett/enigma-bbs

NODE=$BBSROOT/drop/node$1

\# NODE=$BBSROOT/temp$1

\#EXTNODE=/opt/share/node$1

\# Convert DOOR.SYS to DOS line endings

unix2dos $NODE/DOOR.SYS 2>/dev/null

​

\# Define root directory for DOSEMU hdd

DROOT=/home/dannygarrett/.dosemu/drive\_c/nodes/temp$1

​

\# Define node directory inside DOSEMU filesystem

cp $NODE/DOOR.SYS $DROOT/DOOR.SYS

\#cp $NODE/DOOR.SYS $EXTNODE

​

\# Generate a random lowercase 4 digit code for batch file uniqueness

RAND=$(tr -dc a-f0-9 2>/dev/null  </dev/urandom | head -c 4)

&#x200B;

FILE=RUN$RAND.BAT

&#x200B;

\# Convert to lowercase for linux

DOOR=$(echo "$2" | tr '\[:upper:\]' '\[:lower:\]')

&#x200B;

run\_batch(){

\# Arg 1 = NODE

\# Arg 2 = FILE (batch filename)

\# Arg 3 = DROOT (dosemu node folder)

dosemu -E "C:\\\\NODES\\\\TEMP$1\\\\$2" 1>/dev/null 2>&1

\# dosemu -E "D:\\\\cahce\~6p.\_\_\_\\doc\\by-app" 1>/dev/null 2>&1

rm $3/$2

rm $3/DOOR.SYS

}

&#x200B;

case "$DOOR" in

dark)

echo -e '\\r@echo off \\r' > $DROOT/$FILE

echo -e 'c: \\r' >> $DROOT/$FILE

echo -e 'cd c:\\\\doors\\\\darkness\\\\ \\r' >> $DROOT/$FILE

echo -e 'dark16 /n'$1' \\r' >> $DROOT/$FILE

echo -e 'exitemu' >> $DROOT/$FILE

unix2dos $DROOT/$FILE 2>/dev/null

run\_batch $1 $FILE $DROOT

;;

&#x200B;

\*)

echo "Invalid option"

;;

esac

trap 2

&#x200B;

Now when I load the door in enigma it tries to execute it loads up
dosemu and i get a bad command or filename at
c:\\nodes\\temp1\\run8dcc.bat

i can dir/s for door.sys and that .bat file in the dosemu console that
pops up in failure and can not find any of those files. However I can
find the files when I look at directories in debian. For instance the
door.sys file is sitting in /home/dannygarrett/enigma-bbs/drop/node1
directory and the run\*.bat file is sitting in the
/home/dannygarrett/.dosemu/drive\_c/nodes/temp1 directory even though
i can not see it in its matching c: directory while the door is still
trying to load.

Anybody have any ideas?
