yep, synchronet (devs) has to maintain that compatibility, because it is part of the feature set.. A sysop can decide if he/she wants to kick compatibility and support Ansi only. 2 different perspectives
For now i keep up the compatibility until i decide otherwise =)
but it is extra effort as a sysop, that you do for a very small sub-group of an already small group. so.. i'll see.
or you offer an extra command shell in your BBS, just for the non-Ansi guys and keep on going full Ansi with your default command shell.
