   I know ... I know .... Lee went nuts when I brought him on board.  But to be    
   honest, I think he's not alive anymore.   
      
   NA> You have my system on Y2ka2 which will never change, PB I think runs 1.18,   
   NA> yours on 1.22... how does one write a Tic processor to support this exactl   
      
   1.18 -> 1.22a (the one I am using), the structs have NOT changed.  Honestly, I   
   think it might have been from 1.10.   But I know for SURE from 1.18 on,    
   nothing struct wise has changed.   
      
   So in all honestity you'd only need your ver (for yourself, as I don't see    
   anyone using it but you), and 1.18 up would be the same.  So only 2.  Lee    
   isn't around anymore, and no one cared in the 7 years it was open source to do   
   anything with.  So I doubt anything MAJOR is going to change with RG on my    
   end.  I'm just tweaking little shit that bugs me and adding some MCI codes for   
   things I need.   
      
   NA> If someone put back all the structures to what they were in Y2kA2 or earli   
   NA> even, we could use all those many cool utils from the 90's and get Allfix   
   NA> working with it again.   
      
   I know .... I like some of the editions ... yeah I miss editing the menus from   
   dos edit and copy/paste 50 codes at once.    Take for example ... Before I   
   had to have a menu cmd NW what they were doing, cmd door game, NW cmd door   
   game menu for every menu cmd to settle my OCD.  Now I just hit N.  for Node   
   Activity and put in what I want and problem is solved for my command instead   
   of 3.   
      
   The email system is now a message base.   I like Lee's light bars for the area   
   and file areas, but I think he screwed up dupe checking and it's a pain in the   
   ass to track down for file moves.   Also I have to fix is I used to be able to   
   upload *.* and it would scan all files in the directory, but with his setup he   
   converted over into RG It stops after 1 file upload and I have to do it again    
   and again for each file.   
      
   Trust me, there are things I would love to change.  I just sit here and go    
   thru the code and sometimes shake my head ... To be honest I don't see many    
   boards with files anyways .... unless they are hatched to them like mindless    
   drones.   What happened to the BBS world?   
      
   Anyways .... yeah I think we're stuck on mine and yours setup.   So from my    
   end, you should already have what you need and there won't be crazy changes    
   coming from here.  So click away on 2 versions ... ;)   
      
   ... My last original thought died of loneliness.
