    DS>   I'm still working on converting from GT Power to Mystic. Of all the   
    DS> software I've set up (GT Power, Synchronet, Virtual Advanced, and   
    DS> Mystic), Mystic has been the most difficult.   
      
   In order to install and have a fully working telnet BBS in Windows, you have to   
   run literally two commands in Windows:   
      
   install   
   mis   
      
   How you managed to make that so difficult is beyond me, but you can't blame   
   Mystic for the wild ideas that you seem to come up with.  If you do the same   
   things you did with *any BBS software* you'll get a same or similar outcome.   
      
   I think its time to switch to one of those "easy" to use packages that you keep   
   mentioning!  You've gone out of your way to make a post dumping on Mystic many   
   times now, and I can assure you that I'm no longer going to bother wasting my   
   breath trying to help you as a result.   
      
   Just note that if you install over top of your BBS with a new installation,   
   you're still going to lose your configuration even with other software.  If you   
   edit FILES.BBS into an unknown format, its still not going to import with other   
   software.  If you don't understand how to execute doors now, you won't with   
   other software either.  The list goes on and on...
