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.
