subject: Linux Script to Install DOSEMU on User Account.

I am not a linux God by any means, so this script may be horribly written. 
But,
 it works, so here it is...
---------

#/bin/sh
if [ -d $HOME/.dosemu/drives ]; then
  echo "It looks like your accounts has already been prepared to run"
  echo "doors. You should be able to run them directly from their"
  echo "menu keys (ie - L for LoRD)."
  echo 
  echo "If not, then your account is screwed up somehow and you'll"
  echo "have to leave mail to Heatsink to fix it."
  echo
  echo "Pausing for 10 seconds so you can read this....."
  sleep 10
  exit
fi

echo "Your account is going to be prepared to run doors. You only"
echo "ever have to do this once and then you will be able to run all"
echo "the doors from that point on."
echo
echo "This is a Linux BBS and, as you probably know, most of the cool"
echo "doors run on DOS. So, this process you are about to go through is"
echo "to install a DOS emulator on your account."
echo
echo "All you have to do is this:"
echo
echo "1. Wait until you see a DOSEMU prompt then press " 
echo "2. Press  again"
echo "3. Press  again"
echo "4. Type 'yes' without the quotes and press "
echo
echo "You will then be returned to the doors menu and can run doors"
echo "from that point on."
echo
echo "pausing for 15 seconds while you read this....."
sleep 15
echo 
echo "Got it? , , , 'yes',
...."
echo "Here we go........"
