   To be honest, the only time I've seen that message is when running "EDITOR".   
   Not the actual game.   
      
   I think they require you to install usurp020e.zip first, then upgrade to   
   usurp024.zip. Otherwise if you're running any of the .21x-23x variants, you   
   can just overwrite .24 over them (minus a couple DOS versions).

   Are you running the door with the /P switch? And if so, I'm not sure if   
   "/P/path/to/drop/file" would actually work (ie: slashes being backwards might   
   interfere with old DOS ways?), as I didn't bother attempting it since   
   Synchronet has a "%n" macro for the node directory.. but then I would suppose   
   that would do the same thing and put it in linux heirarchy. Make sure there's   
   no space between /P and the directory.. has to be together without a space.   
      
    JK> Do you put it there, or in the main USURPER directory?   
      
   I put it in the node directory, but I just followed his WHATSNEW.TXT for an   
   older linux native version.   
      
   For the record, the WHATSNEW.TXT does in fact reside in the usurp024.zip file,   
   as the third line of it reads:   
      
   "Version 0.24 released September 1, 2015"   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
