In all honesty, I had wanted to release the code a lot earlier, but
didn't want to hear how badly written it was. Then I figured, "Who
cares what others think of it. It works, right?"
For what it's worth, I think a lot of people feel like that people may judge their coding skills, I know I do. Maybe they do judge them, but
I've never had anyone put me down for it, though I have had some constructive criticism, and even patches.
I read somewhere that most of opensource code out there is pretty terrible, but I figure, someone has spent their free time trying to do something to help others, and it works, what's the harm?
Good luck with the writing :)

Shortly, there will be a new version of MTAFile released to the public. I've been testing some of the changes, and everything seems to be
working smoothly. (at least until I just said something...)
With this current version, I am also releasing the source code. Now,
keep in mind, this is the program that I was re-teaching myself how to code again... There are lots of things that could be done to optimize
the program, and make it run better. (No laughing when you look at
it...)
Well, there have been some major changes in my personal life that have caused me to do some soul-diving. While I have the time right now to
work on this project, there are other things that have been taking priority.
I've also gotten back into my story writing. At this point, with 7
short stories written, and being edited, and trying to re-write my
novel, I don't want to try to balance writing fiction, and coding. This doesn't mean that I'm giving up coding, just not focusing on it at this time.
Remember, no laughing at my coding...
If you've read this far, thank you. These are your bonus:
"Two guys walk into a bar, the third one ducks."
"I had a dream I was a muffler last night. I woke up exhausted!"
"5/4 of people admit that they are bad with fractions."
"Why do chicken coops only have two doors? Because if they had four,
they would be chicken sedans!"

What does this do again? :)

Someone may like it, or someone may go "Hey this is a good idea, maybe I can make it work better". :)
I can fully understand that. A lot of my technical hobbies have taken a back seat for similar reasons, while I focus on sport and some other personal stuff. Not that I've done any real coding for a few decades.

Well done, again, I totally understand. Look in FSX_GEN for where a
large part of my focus has been in recent times. :)

Haha you're safe from me - people in glass houses, etc. I'm not going
to throw any (virtual) stones. :D

LOL that's quite good! :D
Hi Everyone,
With this current version, I am also releasing the source code. Now,
keep in mind, this is the program that I was re-teaching myself how to code again... There are lots of things that could be done to optimize
the program, and make it run better. (No laughing when you look at it...)
Why am I doing this now?
Well, there have been some major changes in my personal life that have caused me to do some soul-diving. While I have the time right now to
work on this project, there are other things that have been taking priority.

This is the program that creates the file announcements that are posted
in FSX_BOT from CRBBS. Mys Tic Announce Files. I wasn't able to find anything that would announce incoming files for Mystic, so I wrote my
own. :)

Right now, I can't get into specifics, but there was a major event that happened earlier this month. It caused me to re-think a few things, and right now, I think that writing fiction would be my best stress relief.
I've given up trying to keep up with you. ;) I can't run that fast...
or at all... Well, maybe if I was being chased by something... ;)
That was the biggest reason I didn't release the code earlier. Until I rewrote it a few times, it was a disaster... You would have laughed...
;)

You'd think the second one would have gotten the hint... ;)

That one actually took me a few seconds... Although it is almost 1am here...

I see a new tagline in your future. You just need to shorten it a bit.

What is MTAFile? :D

Mys Tic Announce File
It's a program that creates a new file announcement based on the
incoming .TIC files. Here's a snippet from the mtafile.txt:
