  • Support 31 line and 52 line door.sys file creation

    From Rob Swindell@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sun Apr 24 12:00:26 2022
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/399

    Synchronet has always created the 52 line door.sys file, however, the original format was only 31 lines (e.g. https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/wiki/DOOR.SYS-format). Since some of the additional fields might cause some door programs/frameworks to choke, a configuration option (per door) to only generate a 31-line file could be useful.

    Rob,

    Synchronet has always created the 52 line door.sys file, however, the original format was only 31 lines (e.g. https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/wiki/DOOR.SYS-format). Since some of
    the additional fields might cause some door programs/frameworks to
    choke, a configuration option (per door) to only generate a 31-line
    file could be useful.

    That might have been my issue...preliminary results (upon your suggestion)
    of switching from DOOR.SYS to DORINFO1.DEF seem to have solved the problem. However, I won't be able to test all the doors until the weather pattern
    here calms down a bit (more storms are heading this way right now).

    Daryl
