Thanks Nick,

NA> In version 4, be sure to download and install the Multi-line version.

I did download the multiline version - DB4SM.ZIP.

I think I worked out the issue - but looking for your advice if I'm right.

In the BBS config, I have

echo SPAWNBBS.BAT *B *P *T *L *C > BBS*L.BAT

But as I said, nothing is created. So I tried another line that used
"... > FOO.BAT"

And the first connect FOO.BAT wasnt created. On a second connect it was (strange - Ive seen this a couple of times while testing) - but inside FOO.BAT was

FOO 38400 2 999 *L CONNECT 38400

IE: The *L wasnt changed to the "line". I was expecting it to be changed to 1.

Am I using that right?

NA> If X00.EXE is renamed to something else or loaded as a device driver (I'm
NA> not sure what OS you are using), D'Bridge will not unload it on exit.

Ahh, that worked. I thought DB would exit with an error level if the fossil wasnt loaded - but it doesnt. And *H doesnt work as per the manual? (No problem, I can put X00 in the call as you have in the manual.

... It is not enough to succeed.  Others must fail.
