Setup for EleBBS (Door32 release)

Step 1: Assuming c:\doormud is your DoorMUD directory, and c:\ele is your EleBBS directory, use a command line of:

     c:\doormud\dmud32d.exe -n *N -d c:\ele\NODE*N\door32.sys -socket *W

Example screenshot:

In order for this door to work properly, you may need to lower the value for Modem >> Telnet >> Start Node# in ELCONFIG, since this door does not support node numbers higher than 99. 

Step 2: To finish the installation, you must run the door in local mode by executing "dmud32d.exe -l". The game will automatically finish its installation the first time you run it in local mode.

*** Important Note for EleBBS sysops using Windows 95, 98, and ME ***
The Door32 version of DoorMUD *cannot* be run from a batch file on these systems. Please be sure to run dmud32d.exe directly. The door will automatically change to its own directory on start-up, and change back to the proper BBS directory upon exiting, so there is no need for a batch file anyway.

*** Getting DLL errors or strange lockups? ***
DoorMUD v0.99 has fixed several known 32bit setup problems that appeared in previous versions of the door.  If you're encountering difficulties, please send the author an e-mail describing the problem.
