Subj: Running external Pgms
Hi,
I'm trying to get the BBS moved to OS/2 but I've run into a bit of a
problem. Anything that is called external to the BBS refuses to run, i.e.
DSZ, PKZIP, etc. I can download/upload Bluewave packets via the door as long
as I use the internal DSZ, same for downloading files via the BBS. I can't
pack mail in the Bluewave door because PKZIP refuses to run. What's up?

One likely problem is that when DOS windows open, they open with the
current directory being the root directory of the boot drive (or the
4dos directory if you are runnig 4dos).
You need to make sure that the batch files for running the dos programs
start by changing to the proper drive & directory.

Thanks for the message. You got the old brain going and I checked the
obvious. Sure enough, I found a typo in the path statement. Boy do I feel
dumb. :-( Thank again.
