MLS Under Linux

From LDSOSS

It is trivial to get MLS running under Linux (Sun Java VM):

---

\#!/bin/sh

JAVA_PREFIX="/path/to/sun/java/vm"

PREFIX="/path/to/directory/containing/LDS Church"

$JAVA_PREFIX/bin/java -classpath "$PREFIX/:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/mls.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/pbmicroServerTools45.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/pbmicro45.jar:$PREFIX/AFARIA/INBOUND/UTILITY:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/help/mlshelp.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/help/mlshelp_de.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/help/mlshelp_es.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/help/mlshelp_fr.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/help/mlshelp_ja.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/help/mlshelp_pt.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/MLS_Strings.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/dialer.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/jce.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/jdom.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/jh.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lib/jRegistryKey.jar:$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/lax.jar" com.zerog.lax.LAX "$PREFIX/LDS Church/MLS/MLS.lax" "/tmp/lax15f.tmp"

This is purely an academic exercise, as you should only run software on the Church machines that the Church approves. In any case, I doubt that it would be easy to get the communications software working with it. I find this useful as a Ward Clerk, since I run Debian on my laptop. I like to have access (read-only) to MLS during meetings, where it seems someone always has a question about someone's membership information.
