I create a /sbbs/bin directory and put it in my path. It's useful for dumping
any non js scripts that you might want to run and keep them separate from the sbbs system itself.

$ cat de
unset DISPLAY
/usr/bin/env  QUIET=1 HOME=/sbbs/ctrl/ DOSDRIVE_D=/sbbs/node1/ \
/usr/bin/dosemu.bin -f/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf

I setup a script de (for dos environment).

Once run you can use this command:

lredir E: linux\fs\sbbs\xtrn >NUL


They'll map node E: to your /sbbs/xtrn directory.

I have /sbbs/xtrn/dosutils which is where I dump things like unzip patchcrt and other useful scripts that fix older programs.

Once you run de then you can edit the autoexec.bat to include e:\dosutils in your default path.

You will need an environment like this because a number of programs need to run a setup and it's easier then doing it through the synchronet xtrn menus.

For example, Space Quest requires you to run GENESIS.EXE to initialize everything, then you need to run SETUP.EXE to configure your lines. Finally, you may want to run SQ2112.EXE in local mode to make sure it's working ok.

There's also SQEVENT.EXE which is a separate matter. All of these exe files will need to be run through patchcrt otherwise you get the runtime error that I mentioned.
