  • Bterm on Linux

    From Sean Rima@2:222/2 to All on Fri Feb 21 20:03:44 2020
    I downloaded bterm linux from Kim's page. However it keeps saying:

    bash: ./bterm: No such file or directory

    the directory contents are:

    bbbs.001 bbbs.002 bterm btermcfg BTERM.doc LICENSE.txt scripts sysop.gui
    sean@sean-K53U:~/bterm$

    I tried btermcfg with the same result

    Are the files executable? Check with `ls -l`.

    Hello Sean,

    I downloaded bterm linux from Kim's page. However it keeps saying:

    bash: ./bterm: No such file or directory

    I think that's because you have 3bit executibles on a 64bit system?

    bterm is a copy of BBBS and likewise btercfg is a copy of bcfg4. Copy the lastest bbbs to bterm and bcfg4 to btermcfg into your BTERM directory and you'll be good to go.

    Ttyl :-),

    I will have to try that. Although in a way, I have by passed the problem by using iterm2 on my macBook with a trigger to download and upload mail files

    If you run `file bterm`, what does it say? It sounds
    like the wrong ELF brand.

    I will log into the Linux laptop later and see, have to feed the dogs. I am getting the stink eye

    32bit executable on a 64 bit system. Will move a copy of bbbs here, Though I wish there was bterm for Mac
