   Similar situation with me an my "classic" modded WWIV 4.24a.  I have the   
   source code and can modify and do some coding in "C", where other languages   
   I'm not as well versed.     
      
   It takes me a million more steps to complete the same task that could be done   
   in minutes with Mystic, but somehow it all works.  Like a classic car, there   
   are quirks that I try to deal fix now and then but I keep her running.. :)
