Hello all,  its been a minute.  So I've finally had some time to try to get the
old KIA BBS back up and running. Several months back, I was able to restore the
old BBS.  I built a Virtual WinXP system on a TerraMaster NAS device, and
pulled the BBS off a backup. Version is SynchroNet 3.16.  Everything seemed to
work then life slapped me, lost my job decided to retire, so I left it sit for
a bit.  So I'm back...  I am attempting to upgrade it.  I currently have a
Win10 Pro system on the same TerraMaster NAS.  I copied the 3.16 over and most
of it worked, except the doors, of course.  I did all the updates to the Win10
system suggested.  Then updated SynchroNet from 3.16 to 3.19.  At this point, I
believe everything is working.  I have tested several door games, and they seem
to be working.  So I think I got all that working.  So that is where I am at
the moment.  I did a backup of the system at the 3.19, then attempted to do the
upgrade to 3.20.  It failed...  Not sure what happened, but, it seems to reset
everything to an initial install.  So I restored back to the 3.19.  I'm having
a strange error that I didn't notice before.  If I try to make a change, or
shut down the BBS I'm getting:  Failure writing Initalization file: 
c:\sbbs\ctrl\sbbs.ini.  I'm done some searching in the docs and the Wiki, but
am not having any luck finding this issue.   I'm thinking that this may be the
reason the system reverted to an initial install.  Any thoughts? My apologies, 
If you all remember me, I'm rather long winded.  :)  hahaha!
