DOS network code doesn't work against 64-bit BBS #294

Closed granitepenguin closed 9 years ago

granitepenguin commented 9 years ago

trying to configure binkp rushnet and testing with network3 isn't working.

net info is configured like this (it's the second network defined):

Net Type : WWIVnet
Net Name : RushNet
Node # : 3
Directory : nets/rushnet/

and the results from running network3 y .1 are :

WWIV Networking Software Copyright 1998-2015 WWIV Software Services.

network3: [net38b3](Jan 25 2015, 07:15:26) ■ Analyzing connections...

No system number set in INIT...

Aborting.

Network3 successfully processes .0 network (WWIVnet)

Tried net37. Same result:

net37: Analyzing connections...

No system number set in INIT... Aborting.

The problem is that net_networks_rec is 8 bytes too big on 64-bit compiles since the pointers are saved
