   Have now installed 106 over the installed 104 still using /home instead of   
   /opt.   
      
   Compiling the build was simple  just used   
      
   ./configure --prefix=/home/mbse   
      
   then used the standard su, make install  job done.   
      
      
   We counld update mbsetup to check if the install is NOT to the standard /opt   
   and if so migrate the existing file and msg .data files to use the new path.   
   That will remove 98% of any migration.   
      
   The oonly other areas to look at are:   
      
   1.  Check all scripts in ~/etc that the full path is not hard coded but using   
   $MBSE_ROOT as originally supplied   
      
   2.  If not using the .profile export of $HOME in crontab to pre-set the paths   
   i.e.,   
      
   #Hourly   
   00 0-23 * * * $MBSE_ROOT/etc/hourly   
      
      
   then modify the "/opt" to "/home".   
      
   Now migration is complete.
