Need iNiQUiTY BBS help.. reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- b33znutz · 2023-10-03 20:30 If anybody out there has any experience working with Iniquity BBS software I would appreciate being able to pick your brain. At the moment, specifically about using NetFoss, NetSerial, and likely doors eventually. I am currently in discussions with the creators of NetFoss/NetSerial but as their knowledge of iniquity is limited I am attempting to tap all resources I can find. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-10-03 20:39 Hey b33znutz, I’ve never messed with Iniquity, but it’s on my DOS wish list! What specifically are you having problems with, what version of Iniquity, and what’s your setup look like? Sounds like windows 32-bit given the Netfoss usage? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- b33znutz · 2023-10-03 21:55 WinXP/32 sp3 Iniquity 2.20 NetFoss latest NetSerial latest ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ruodokas · 2023-10-04 14:25 But didn't iniquity have a native telnet support so you wouldn't need to use any net\* middleman program at all? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- b33znutz · 2023-10-04 14:32 Telnet support yes, to a degree I suppose. Still requires a fossil driver. I'm thinking of switching to x00 with NetSerial.. Well see.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-10-04 20:43 Well my designated Windows machine just took a dump, so I'll need get 32-Bit Windows installed on another one PC laying around, lol. However, I did manage to get Iniquity v2.11 (Jack Phlash's unofficial binary updates to v2.0) working on OS/2 (arcaos) in a DOS shell. Multi-node and all! Pretty cool. Looks like it has Y2K fixes as well. Where did you grab the v2.2 release? I can only find v2.11... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- b33znutz · 2023-10-04 21:30 Yeah I got it to work and accept telnet calls and all of that... Main functions are good. My major issue at the moment, is getting doors to work. So far I have only got two to work, Lord and Lord2, but they both basically worked right out of the box... As for the 2.20 update, I think I found it on distortion, Jack Plash's board @ telnet://d1st.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-10-06 16:19 I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but in Jack Phlash's 2.20a notes I found this: % yep... iniquity doesn't store its dropfiles in separate locations for some odd reason... easy way to avoid problems? use the dorinfoX.def file, X will always be replaced with the node number so no confusion. if the door doesn't use dorinfoX.def (what?!) then move the dropfile to a different directory with a batch file. this will probably be corrected in the future but again is considered a low priority. Have you tried installing the Door32 games (via NFU) that PCMICRO has instructions for on their site?
