    AG> I was wondering if there was ways I could access things like   
    AG> user/message/file info through some sort of an API (like by creating MPL   
    AG> scripts or something) so I can access the information from the website   
    AG> I'm creating.  Or, if there is a copy of the structures, I could read   
    AG> the data files by accessing it through an externally written tool.     
      
   Yes you can do those things.   
      
   The structures are included in Mystic in the docs folder if you wanted to   
   create a CGI-BIN or FastCGI type application.  The message base format is JAM   
   which is a standard and there are libraries that can read that data too.    
   Mystic used to have a web interface back in the late 90s but I lost the source   
   code.  It used the CGI/FastCGI method.   
      
   I think some people have done some basic PHP and Python wrappers in the past   
   although I don't know where to find those.   
      
   MPL and Mystic Python run from within Mystic only for now.  I was planning on   
   building out the web server scripting a bit but I haven't been working on much   
   lately outside of small fixes and features, so I don't know if/when that will   
   happen.
