    It looks like the script is trying to open a message base with an internal code of "ENTERTAI". Looking at dovebowl.js, I see this:

    var sports=new MsgBase('ENTERTAI');

    The code should probably be configurable (i.e. read from dovebowl.ini or modopts.ini), but you can just change that string (the ENTERTAI part) to match the internal code you have for your DOVE-Net/Entertainment sub in SCFG.

    If you open dovebowl.js in a text editor you'll see on line 12 it points to a message base called ENTERTAI. I'm guessing you need to have a message board in your BBS with a matching Internal code.

    No idea what the program does with that board, make posts I suppose. Never messed with Dovebowl.
