 I did an exercise a while back, moving from Windows 10 to Linux. Once I
 fulfilled all of the prerequisites and got a basic install  up and
 running, I copied my ctrl directory over, then looked for all of the
 hard-coded c:\sbbs\ locations in the files.

 I didn't bother with DOS compatibility, as I'd gotten rid of most of my
 DOS doors and migrated my compression tools from DOS only to
 cross-platform tools.

 It's nice having Binkit/Tickit all partof Synchronet, so most
 everything moved all at once.
