I tried using the init-fido thing to install fidonet and get this..

Which or [Q]uit: 1
Network name: FidoNet
Network zone: 1
Network info: http://fido-z1.darkrealms.ca/
Network domain: fidonet
Network coordinator: Nick Andre <nandre@net229.org> 1:229/426
EchoList: BACKBONE.NA
Reading Message Area configuration file: /sbbs/ctrl\msgs.ini
Your hub's address (zone:net/node): 1:229/426
!JavaScript d:\sbbs\exec\init-fidonet.js line 504: TypeError: fidoaddr.to_str is not a function
d:\sbbs\exec\init-fidonet.js executed in 10.31 seconds
!Module (init-fidonet.js) set exit_code: 1

JavaScript: Destroying context
JavaScript: Destroying runtime

Hit enter to continue...

Any idea what the issue is? I even checked the github to make sure the JS files were current.

Your load/fidoaddr.js file is old? The to_str() method was added to that library file back in 2020.

It sounds like you just downloaded/updated one (.js) file your exec directory. This is not how updates/upgrades are normally done.
