      MSGID: 1:18/200 6260c9f6       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: -0400       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.0.8 (Linux-x86_64)       Hello All,              I noticed that my MBSE system was complaining about X not being installed when        I was going into DOS using "mbsedos". The problem is that the mbsedos script        was out of date.              I fixed it...here is my entire "mbsedos" script with my changes:              === Cut ===       #!/bin/sh              if [ "`whoami`" != "mbse" ]; then        echo "Only user 'mbse' is allowed"        exit 1       fi              # Save initial umask and set group read/write for dos       UMASK=`umask`       umask 007              # Run DOS       case $TERM in        linux|xterm|xterm-256color)        dosemu.bin -f $MBSE_ROOT/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf        ;;        *)        dosemu.bin -X -f $MBSE_ROOT/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf        ;;       esac              # Restore umask       umask $UMASK       === Cut ===              You'll notice I converted the if statement to a case statement as the case        statement does a better job of comparing strings. Modify your mbsedos script        and that should stop an unnecessary error from popping up.              I'll commit this soon to the main MBSE Git repo.              -- Sean              ... Life can be a grind. Use it to sharpen your character.       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Outpost BBS (MBSE BBS Dev Team) (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/110 123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 330 331 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 111       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
