The DNDBBS Project

[John]

For some reason DnDBBS isn't seeing the doesemu SHARE. I tried run the BBS after installing SHARE and your board still says that share isn't enabled..

I think (again) you can force share in start1.cfg but I'm not sure if it works..

(the reason being because the files should be locked before a write to avoid collisions between multi-nodes)

My guess is DnDBBS isn't detecting the DOSemu SHARE which would mean some investigative debugging on your part. It may be something simple that requires adding some conditional code to the source.

I am using the following code to detect share:

Code: [Select]

InregsX.AX = &H1000
CALL INTERRUPTX(&H2F, InregsX, OutregsX)
IF (OutregsX.AX AND &HFF) = &HFF THEN
    Share.Installed = True
ELSE
    Share.Installed = False
END IF

Do you know of an easier way to detect share?

You could shell  to DOS and trying running SHARE.EXE and if its already loaded it will say so. Not rocket science but works.

You could shell  to DOS and trying running SHARE.EXE

The only problem with that is share returns a blank line!?

It has been too long since I have done any  programming under DOS. Maybe one of the other senior members can offer some help. My advice is getting a Linux setup going so you can test DnDBBS yourself.
