      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:229/110 321299f4       REPLY: 1:129/215 349565cf       TZUTC: -0400        g0> SB> Please improve on the upgrade process first, g00r00! I love your work        g0> SB> but there was a reason I didn't want to move to a47! PS: finally did         g0> SB> and it took a *week* to get my events working properly again...        g0>         g0> What was the problem you had and what is the suggestion on how it can be        g0> improved?              My problems have no relevance to the UTF-8 discussion. But, since you asked...               g0> The upgrade instructions are just a list of commands lines to        g0> run that you can paste directly onto a command line. There really isn't        g0> anything else to do other than that for A47. What events that come with        g0> A47 did you have problems with?              Um.../fidopoll vs ./mis poll? I'm still fairly certain that this was my       biggest problem.              Having said that, the changes to 'Interval' events threw me for a loop, too!       Suddenly, all off my 'Interval' events were happening every five minutes,       instead of five minutes after every hour. You didn't mention this in your       update notes. I'm not the only McNoob to be confused by this, either.              Again, I must be clear: this is intended as 'constructive' criticism, not as       insult. I wouldn't choose any other base but Mystic for PiBBS!               g0> For example this is the upgrade procedure from A47 to A48:        g0>         g0> Run: install replace c:\mystic        g0> Run: mutil -run packfilebases        g0>         g0> That's it.              Sir, I would suggest that the upgrade from a46 to a47 is not the same, at       all...You kinda broke a lot of stuff in that particular upgrade. And you've       already admitted as much. Perhaps, I am simply adding my feedback too late?              Either way, don't let me slow you down! Clearly, you are working harder than I       am! I have exactly zero alpha releases of my work.              McDoob       SysOp, PiBBS       pibbs.sytes.net              ...
