       NB> How do you like Mystic so far? :)               Not at all, I'm sorry to say.               1. I never liked the BBS programs where you had to remember a lot of single       keys to press. My BBS program has a CLI, where you don't even have to write       the entire command, but like in every modern OS just the first letters -- and       you don't even have to press TAB to auto-complete. E.g. "li fi" will list all       files, "jo fi" will list all echoes starting with "fi" and then join you to       the one you choose from the list.               2. The international support is totally missing. My keyboard didn't work       and the displayed umlauted characters were wrong (even if they turned out OK       when looking in a decent editor).               3. In the setting part, I never got used to having to backspace the entire       value to enter a new one. Cut&paste didn't work.               4. Not a shred of the more recent FTN functions such as MSGID/REPLY or CHRS.               5. I try to stay away from DOS style 80x25 display.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
