      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 1:129/215 2d2129d4       REPLY: 1:317/3 623e47a9       TZUTC: -0400        BP> Just a quick question for you. I know that strings in MPL are 255        BP> characters, but is there a way to have a string that is longer?              Your options for now are to use Mystic's Python integration or you can try       using the MysticScript which does allow longer strings (available in the       pre-alpha releases of A47 and A48). Otherwise I think you'd have to to use       multiple strings or an array of chars in MPL.              MPL was created in the 1990s and is missing a few crucial things most notably       are 64-bit integers and an ansistring-like type. I may add them in the future       but its going to be a bunch of work, so I am experimenting with MysticScript       as a possible replacement instead.              I haven't fully decided on which direction to go but you can find MS in the       A48 pre-alphas. The latest version includes Blackjack, Tetris, and the Usage       ported to MysticScript.              ... APPLE: It may be slow, but at least it's expensive.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 2022/03/14 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 * Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/340 616 123/10       SEEN-BY: 123/120 131 129/215 305 330 331 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50       SEEN-BY: 154/700 203/0 218/700 840 220/70 90 221/6 226/17 18 30 100       SEEN-BY: 227/114 201 229/110 206 307 310 317 400 424 426 428 452 550       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/5832 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/2 3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2320/105 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
