In Linux

mkdir /sbbs/xtrn/arrow
cd /sbbs/xtrn/arrow
drop ab1v140.zip (That's the version I found anyway)
unzip ab1v140.zip

Now you need to run DOSEMU to configure the game

/usr/bin/env  QUIET=1 HOME=/sbbs/ctrl/ DOSDRIVE_D=/sbbs/node1/
/usr/bin/dosemu.bin -f/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf

WHen it's running, paste all these lines to be nice and safe.

set DSZLOG=D:\PROTOCOL.LOG
set SBBSNODE=D:
set SBBSNNUM=1
set SBBSCTRL=F:
set SBBSDATA=G:
set SBBSEXEC=H:
set PCBNODE=1
set PCBDRIVE=D:
set PCBDIR=\
lredir E: linux\fs\sbbs
lredir F: linux\fs\sbbs\ctrl
lredir G: linux\fs\sbbs\data
lredir H: linux\fs\sbbs\exec
E:
cd \arrow

Now you'll run the setup tools.

ABTOOLS SETUP
Menu option B. Enter A & B and select 1 for D
Menu option P. enter E:\ARROW for option A
Menu option G. Change the season y/n to your liking
Save changes

Now create the game files with

ABTOOLS CREATE

You're done, you can exit with exitemu

Now run scfg and configure your game accordingly.

For the drop file, it doesn't matter if you use realname or not and upper or
lower case, though it's usually best to stick with one. I usually make mine
lowercase since that's linux, and DOS can still read it.

Save and recycle. Enjoy.

Oh, you may need a fossel driver but I think I saw you loaded one, so you
should be good to go.
