I suspect the argument passing and path issues. Is this SBBS or Mystic? I see
it's Windows, but which version or is that just due to the DOS emulation?
Mystic doesn't allow things outside it's path, generally meaning it has to be
under /mystic. So if the drive is really e:\mystic to DOS that's OK, but
if it's c:\mystic and the door is e:\anything it's not likely to work. Mystic
changes from root owner to whatever whatever owns the mystic directory and
won't let things outside the mystic path do much if anything. The DD command
(Linux door) is an exception to that, you can run games from /usr/local/games
using DD. Generally the temps have to be under mystic and that causes doors
not to work outside of the mystic directory. No idea if SBBS does that, but
I wouldn't expect it. I think more people work on that and it's inherited
the older DOS paths so they aren't as secure as the way g00r00 does it.
