Post by JeffI have the upgrade to WG 3.2. I just need the DEV KIT. I would like to see
if I can make the mod to the file area. I think I might be able to help.
You never know. I just want to get the file area to use more than a 8 bit
file name. I have to rename over 60 gigs of files just so that my friends
can download them. Anyone want to sell your copy with a bill of sale?

if you are going to run multinode doors under wg the easy thing to do is use
the www.synchro.net pkg and the www.doormud.com mod to make it transparent
under wg (synchronet has a mbbs menu choice setup)...as long as a person is
doing that mod for doorgames for multinode..i'd simply just do the same
trick for file areas...just use that part of the synchronet pkg and run it
for your file areas..to get around the file length etc...all this is
transparent to your users..and
takes care of the 8bit file name problem
that would be a much easier fix then tyring to re-write wg file area..as for
dev kit..i thought the source code stuff and dev stuff for wg was already
available for download from the www.worldgroupware.com site i think it is
called wgdev or some such in file areas...as far as i understood this stuff
was just given away to help dev wg...(maybe they have since changed their
mind..at least that is how i got my setup that way...and i kinda thought it
was funny because i don't program..but what the heck i said thanks and filed
it someplace?
hope this helps..but again if you are gonna run the new 32bit doors and/or
8bit and 16bit doors from back in the day...the synchronet pkg has fossil
support built in on the fly.with menu setup (see www.doors.synchro.net)
pretty simple setup of door bat files via menu etc ..and if/or you are doing
that with games the use of the same pkg for file area stuff...is ..not much
of a leap to sub the file xfer area and/or ftp from the same pkg as
well...for the over 8bit file name fix...
anyway
my 2c worth
my apologies to any wg purists out there..but i'm for the anything that
works category (and or anything that is still being developed/tweaked like
synchro or gameserv or some of the others) as far as fixes or advancements
go..remember i had a wg 3.20 256line setup with majormud and serial
connections to 2 apple //'s running 80's bbs software (fv/metal 4.0xev and
tpro 4.2f RPG bbs) and a synchronet bbs pkg mod'ed for transparent use under
wg doors area...and a tw2002 gold server and a space quest 2112
server....whatever floats the boat
