This is the second time I've seen you       mention this mystery "x", and I have never, not once, seen it. Not now, and       not previously. This is why I was wondering if it was specific to DOS, or       perhaps to one (or more) BBS backend, as it's not showing up on my Linux       Mystic build, and never has.              It's really just a curiosity.              McDoob       SysOp, PiBBS       pibbs.sytes.net              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: PiBBS (1:229/110)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/330       SEEN-BY: 129/331 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 200 206 307       SEEN-BY: 229/317 400 424 426 428 664 700 240/5832 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848       PATH: 229/110 426           |
