Hello Paul,

   I wasn't lauging at all. Just letting you know where current development was   
   at, is all. If 1.07.3 works for you, as it did for many others for years while   
   the developer was MIA, that's all that matters.

   Just makes it easier to do everything in one shot. When it comes to a BBS, of   
   course. No need to run 6 separate servers when you can run them all in one   
   executable. Granted, you won't get the same kind of detailed configuration,   
   usually. Since the separate servers tend to only focus on one thing, which is   
   what it is intended for.

   I wasn't using it as an external editor, but rather just sharing the JAM   
   message bases between the two. GoldEd reads and writes to those areas the   
   right way, and it seems Mystic has a quirk where it stores and reads the   
   kludge lines in and from the body of the message, and not the header -- which   
   is wrong. So when  you post a message with GoldEd, the message gets send out   
   with no kludge lines. That can't be good. :)

   Tinkering when I have the time. Gaming when I don't feel like tinkering. That   
   about sums up computer usage these days. Family life takes up most of my time,   
   so the hobbies always get pushed away until I can make time for 'em. Such is   
   life. :)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
