   In case you were not aware, Linux and Windows don't share the same character   
   (/ vs \) to differentiate between subdirectories.  After having gone through   
   the exercise (Linux ->Windows and back) multiple times, just moving the files   
   isn't enough.  You must make sure that directory locations ALL have the   
   correct slash.  Starting with ./mystic -cfg, checking all locations (I missed   
   the QWK ones last time) and moving on to all scripts that may contain   
   locations.   
      
   Also, make sure you follow the procedure in the upgrade.txt file in the linux   
   version of Mystic.  In there, the final step includes recompiling the mpl   
   scripts. That "may" be what you're seeing with your error message.
