MS-DOS Catalogs.xml / MS-DOS Magazines & Newsletters.xml issues

[parricc]

The MS-DOS Catalogs.xml file has the following bad references: <ApplicationPath>eXo\Catalogs\Ocean Ride the Ocean Wave (1992).pdf</ApplicationPath> <ApplicationPath>eXo\Catalogs\Microprose Just for Fun (1989).pdf</ApplicationPath>

The actual files for the above contain an ! character at the end of their title. This issue causes the above two catalogs to fail launching in both Windows and Linux.

The MS-DOS Magazines & Newsletters.xml has several references of the following with incorrect case: <ApplicationPath>eXo\Magazines\GameBytes.bat</ApplicationPath>

The actual filename is Gamebytes.bat. This issue causes all Game Bytes entries to fail to launch in Linux.

Suggestion:

Since this torrent is already released and the media pack does not have a separate setup, add some lines to eXoDOS Setup.bat as a makeshift fix. This can be done right after the Media Pack files get extracted:

if exist .\Content\*Magazines.zip .\eXo\util\unzip -o .\Content\*Magazines.zip -d .\
if exist .\Content\*Books.zip .\eXo\util\unzip -o .\Content\*Books.zip -d .\
if exist .\Content\*Catalogs.zip .\eXo\util\unzip -o .\Content\*Catalogs.zip -d .\
if exist .\Content\*Soundtracks.zip .\eXo\util\unzip -o .\Content\*Soundtracks.zip -d .\
if exist ".\eXo\Catalogs\Ocean Ride the Ocean Wave! (1992).pdf" ren ".\eXo\Catalogs\Ocean Ride the Ocean Wave! (1992).pdf" "Ocean Ride the Ocean Wave (1992).pdf"
if exist ".\eXo\Catalogs\Microprose Just for Fun! (1989).pdf" ren ".\eXo\Catalogs\Microprose Just for Fun! (1989).pdf" "Microprose Just for Fun (1989).pdf"
if exist ".\eXo\Magazines\Gamebytes.bat" ren ".\eXo\Magazines\Gamebytes.bat" "GameBytes.bat"

Note the last 3 lines in the above snippet are what's added. Confirmed it works.

[exoscoriae]

added the lines

[parricc]

This should also be done under the :mediainstall label. (For people installing the Media Pack on a copy of eXoDOS that had previously been installed).

[exoscoriae]

thinking about it it doesn't matter if the line are added

because the xml is still wrong in that release.

so renaming the files doesn't fix shit

[exoscoriae]

added em' anyways though
