NA> Speaking as a both the #1 fan and a 3rd-party developer you should really

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

I know .... I like some of the editions ... yeah I miss editing the menus from
dos edit and copy/paste 50 codes at once. <G>   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.
