I upgrade to 3.15 and the core JS string functions are now there.
BTW, what I was working on is a door menu to BBS Interlink (www.bbslink.net)
which is a really
cool game server (I don't run it, just a happy user) and I replaced my whole
door menu with a bit
of JS that looks like Synchronet menu but connects out to their server for each
door.
I like the idea of a central door server for multi-user games, figured there'd
be more players.
