The first is called the Soulforge. In the back of the Dragons of Winter Night there was an ad (yes mine is an older copy) for a series of books called Super Endless Quest. In them the fourth book is titled...The Soulforge and is supposedly about Raistlin's experiences. The actual ad is
THE SOULFORGE by Terry Phillips. The story of what really happened to the young mage, Raistlin, in the towers of High Sorcery!
There is also a short story called the Soulforge in the Magic of Krynn book.
Actually, you are incorrect; here is a link to the ToC for "Magic of Krynn" and it doesn't reference that short story.
"Magic of Krynn" - Table of Contents
I also checked the links to the other "Tales" books (except "Love and War", which didn't have a ToC available) and didn't find any short story titled as such. I don't remember reading any "Soulforge" stories other than Margaret's. It's been a while and I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

You mean this?
The Soulforge, by Terry Phillips
I'm not sure exactly how this relates to the Soulforge novel by Margaret. I think Margaret basically took all the ideas of Raistlin's Test, cleared up inconsistencies, and put out the definitive version.
Rath - Hey, bro! Haven't seen you around in a while.
I've not read the original choose your own adventure-type book Soulforge, (although the Dragonlance Atlas goes into it in some detail).
Margaret Weis's The Soulforge matches up alright with "Test of the Twins" but essentially throws Terry Phillip's Soulforge out the window (along with a few other novels). But, I'm not too upset about those other novels being tossed out (Meetings Sextet), because they threw the accepted continuity out first (the info from DL5 and Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home).

Personally I enjoyed the meetings sextent. It was the reason I started to read the chronicles after I finished them. I am bad Dragonlance fan, I started with the other novels before getting into the trilogies.

Hey, I really enjoyed the Meetings Sextet as well (especially The Oath and the Measure) but that doesn't mean I forgive them for their continuity attrocities.

I completely agree that they committed some huge attrocities. I always viewed them sort of as tall tales. When I first read the first of the meeting sextet I was really confused of why Flint and the Speaker were such good friends in that book but in the chronicles it was like they had never met. I realized later the reason for that was they had never met before. The one thing that I have encountered with a lot of Dragonlance novels before is a lack of continuity. Recently it seems to have been cleared up though.

Z'up? Yeah, been busy with the new kiddo and whatnot. Had a few spare minutes at the end of a busy day yesterday and figured I'd see if anything good was happening over here.
