• Mystic DOS?

    Hey man, have been seeing you talk about this the last few days, and I was
    just wondering what it was. Is it a drop-to-DOS, like DOORWAY? Or some native Mystic, "you can run DOS doors in a separate DOS-like environment" thing? Got me all curious, man!

    Its just a command shell built into Mystic where you can manage files, chat or kill users, edit ANSI or text files, run MPL and python scripts, access configuration, etc. It doesn't have anything to do with doors, sorry.

    Its just part of bringing in some more stuff to help manage your BBS from a remote location, since running BBSes on virtual private servers has become much more popular - and Mystic has always been about having capabilities in place
    to manage your BBS remotely.

    That's pretty damned awesome, man, don't apologize! I was just curious what
    it specifically had to do with. I've already got a Windows VM for doors
    anyway. =)

    I really like this idea. I had DOORWAY setup when Mystic was running in Windows, but, yaknow, it only did DOS, not the other stuff you've listed.

    Now that it's on an RPi, that's not an option, so I'm really looking forward
    to this!
