   Just out of curiosity, how can your program possibly work?  Sure, it's   
   possible to convert a DOOR.SYS dropfile to a syntactically correct   
   DOOR32.SYS file, but since DOOR.SYS deals with com numbers, and DOOR32.SYS   
   deals with com handles (or socket handles), the DOOR32 program will not be   
   able to detect a carrier.  So I'm just wondering what test environment you   
   are using to confirm this util works.
