Hi everyone!

My google-fu isn't what it should be apparently.

I'm trying to get Zork (I, II, III) running as doors in my Windows Server 2008 
32bit Mystic BBS build running.  I have LORD, Death, Wheel of Fortune, TW2002, 
and Jedi nights running just fine, but I can't get Zork working.  I understand 
that the games I 
have working already were designed as door games, and Zork isn't a "door game" 
and requires DOS I/O redirection, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

I'm using NetFoss v1.20.
I've followed the instructions in the included with the NetFoss driver that I 
am successfully using for my other door games.

When I launch Zork from the door games menu, Zork launches on the server in the 
Node window for the user who launches Zork, but the user never sees the game.  
I can play/quit the game from the Node window on the server but the user just 
sits on the Games 
screen in Mystic until the game is ended and none of the I/O is redirected to 
the user. 

Zork.bat:
@echo off
cd c:\mystic\doors\zork1
nnansi.com
c:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com /m /i /t%1
_zork1.com
nnansi.com /u
c:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com /u

Mystic Menu Command:
DD   "C:\mystic\doors\zork1\ZORK1.bat"


I've tried with and without using nnansi with the same results.

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
