When I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 10.1 I pretty much copied everything
over and it seemed to work ok. Events and such ran, I could log in, etc.

It turned out none of the doors worked anymore although the maintenance
ran each night. I forgot to put the TERMINFO/TERMCAP files in for the
new install of the OS. :o

After I got that working, the doors would run, but I got this error
displayed before the door started:

You did not specify a locale (using the LANG, LC_CTYPE, or LC_ALL
environment variable, e.g., en_US) or did not specify an explicit set
for $_external_char_set in ~/.dosemurc or dosemu.conf.
Non-ASCII characters ("extended ASCII") are not displayed correctly.

I didn't have to do this before, but I went into dosemu.conf and set;

$_external_char_set = "cp437"

Which so far seems to have cleared up the issue. Some of the doors are
still not running so I will have to walk through all those and see if something else is amiss.

I may be switching to another server soon, so hopefully writing this
message will help me remember what I did and maybe help someone else. :P
