I don't think I'm familiar with Acey. Here is how I load Usurper:

START.BAT
---------
@echo off
cls
d:
cd\doors\usurper
USURPER.EXE /M%1 /X /N%1 /PD:\VA\TEMP\N%1
d:
cd\va

USURPx.CTL (Make for nodes 0 through 10 or whatever)
----------
SYSOPFIRST Steve
SYSOPLAST Winn
BBSNAME AT2k Design BBS
BBSTYPE DOORSYS
FOSSIL
LOCKBAUD 0
STATUS ON
STATFORE 7
STATBACK 1

Then run it with the command line of:
D:\DOORS\USURPER\START.BAT %1

Of course change your paths to match your setup.

The main thing to remember when setting up doors is to make them use a fossil
driver. If you can't get Acey to work, send it my way and I'll take a look at
it.. just don't recall it.

Steve
