How can ice edit be ran with a fossil? I use strictly Ele/Win32, but a user
is running an os/2 system and hasn't been able to get that to work.

IceEdit should work like any other DOS door under EleBBS/OS2. If you need a FOSSIL, load X00.EXE (or BNU.COM) in the batch file that calls IceEdit.

He's tried that, but: It hangs up the session as soon as you try to enter
the message txt.

Perhaps he has X00 configured incorrectly? He's tried to contact you via netmail hoping for help with this previously and is on bnbbbs. Doctor Wade.

Hangs up as in the remote user is disconnected, or hangs up as in the session freezes up?

I haven't seen a netmail but I'll keep an eye out for it.

The user is disconnected. He's tried g9, rc1 and the 2012 compiles with both fp and vp with all the same results, I believe.

Hi Andrew.
IceEdit hangs up as soon as I try to enter the body of the message. I am sure it is a configuration issue. I have changed X00.SYS to X00.EXE and loaded it
as a batch file. I have not been able to find any parameters I should be
using in my batch file. If you could point me in the right direction I would
be grateful.
Thanks!

What is your external editor command line in ELCONFIG -> Options -> Messages? Are you using SIO or SIO2K comm. drivers? If you are using SIO or SIO2K, it includes a VX00.SYS that interfaces directly with the serial drivers. You also need to enable sharing the port between OS/2 and DOS.

If you are using SIO or SIO2K, post your entries from CONFIG.SYS for them.

Regards,

Andrew

I tried using X00.exe in a batch file with IceEdit. I tried using c:\ele\iceedit.exe *N *M in ele>elconfig>options>messages>external editor.
I use SIO2K. My config.sys line is :
device=c:\sio2k\vmodem.sys logfile=c:\sio2k\sio2k.log NoPause device=c:\sio2k\uart.sys NoPause nPorts=2
device=c:\sio2k\sio2k.sys
device=c:\sio2k\vsio2k.sys vIrqList (3,4)
device=c:\sio2k\vx00.sys
I load vmodem with an entry in my startup folder. I have tried x00.exe and vx00.exe with no luck. I have looked around for a batch file that shows how
X00 or VX00 should be loaded (parameters) but have not found anything yet. Thanks for your help!

First, add *H to your editor command line in ELCONFIG. Second, you need to enable sharing the port between OS/2 & DOS. To do this, add Os2Shares to your SIO2K.SYS command line in CONFIG.SYS. Since you are loading VX00.SYS in CONFIG.SYS, you have FOSSIL support in all DOS sessions. You don't need to use X00.EXE in the batch file. I use a .CMD file to load all of my DOS doors; they all look very similar.

My CEDIT.CMD:

@echo off
Start "CheepEdit Node %1" /DOS=E:\RA\DOSDOOR.INI /WAIT E:\RA\CEDIT.BAT %1

The /WAIT tells OS/2 to wait for the DOS session to end before continuing.

My CEDIT.BAT:

@echo off
E:\RA\CEdit\CEdit.EXE -! -N%1
Exit

My DOSDOOR.INI:

DOS_DEVICE=c:\os2\mdos\ansi.sys
DOS_DEVICE=c:\sio2k\vx00.sys
IDLE_SECONDS=0
IDLE_SENSITIVITY=75

I am using 4OS2 instead of CMD.EXE, largely because of the support for starting a DOS session with specific settings (the DOSDOOR.INI above.) Since you have VX00.SYS loaded in CONFIG.SYS, you shouldn't have to worry so much about that. I am using CheepEDIT instead of IceEdit, but it should be similar.
The same basic setup (a .cmd file starting a DOS session and .bat file) works for just about every DOS door I've ever tried to get running on EleBBS/OS2. OS/2 native doors (there are a few) get run directly from their .cmd file instead.

If you'd rather not use 4OS2, you can download a program called HSTART from hobbes.nmsu.edu which will do the same job.

Thanks Andrew!
I will see what I can do with this information.
