    On a few different mods, mplc returns:

    ~/mystic/./mplc dm-rr.mps

    This is on Dream Master's russian roulette mod, but I've got the same error
    on g00r00's r-rumors, and a couple others.

    What should I check/change in the .MPS?? I trying to learn MPL but not a
    bunch of documentation; what language would be needed to comprehend more?

    Any tips on how to get these scripts compiled would be great... I'm sure its just for an earlier version of Mystic, and could be modified...

    ~/mystic/./mplc dm-rr.mps

    I tried typing:
    ./mplc dm-rr.mps in my /mystic directory, and got that same error message:

    Directory "" does not exist

    But if I typed:
    ./mplc dm.mps

    ...I didn't get that error message.

    There are probably other ways around this error, but maybe just rename the
    file to not have a dash in it for the time being?

    Wow, so... makes sense... both mps files had a dash in the filename, but when you posted that I thought you were nuts...

    However it totally worked, and I assume is an issue with Linux, because
    g00r00 uses OSX- at any rate, I'll be sure to put in a ticket to g00r00 and tell him about this, and it makes sense - with the russian roulette one, I
    know another BBS that uses it so I couldn't understand why it wasn't working. Now I know - weird.

    THANKS
