DOSBox is not completly compatible with the current Xcomutil 9.41
The problem is the way runxcom.bat trys to detect if your exiting the
game or entering combat.. (scott made a fancy way to support the split
TFTD:CE executible.) How ever the file can be motified to work..

if you open it and look for:

ufoexe\geoscape "0"

and add to it to look like

ufoexe\geoscape "0"
if errorlevel 2 goto begin
goto end

and then change the line:
ufoexe\geoscape "1"

to look like this

ufoexe\geoscape "1"
if errorlevel 2 goto begin
goto end

save the file and now it will work with the CVS version of DOSBox.
