    Xqtr's fsx_mutl/xq-ascii_theme.zip needs some updating, but is a good
    place to start for an ASCII theme. Install under Linux if you have
    fsxnet with:

    cd /mystic
    unzip files/fsx_mutl/xq-ascii_theme.zip #replace files if needed
    mkdir scripts_ascii
    cp scripts/bulletin.mps scripts_ascii
    cp scripts/mide* scripts_ascii
    cp scripts/mplc scripts_ascii

    For A39 you need to add prompts from data/default.txt for #528-537 editing
    per docs/whatsnew.txt deleting color codes. Need to edit programs used, putting them in scripts_ascii.

    Need to edit text_ascii/bullet1, bullet2, bulletin.asc (if you want
    something other than ..1..). I edited was bulletin.mps to delete color
    codes, others used will need to be edited (by removing the color codes).

    Do Configuration, Editors, Theme/Prompt Editor, down one, / insert edit
    both 'new' to 'ascii', ESC, ESC (it's now installed)

    It's live on bcw142.zapto.org (normal ports for everything. To get ASCII you need to pick (0) Ascii (No Color) on the way in then Codepage won't matter and pick theme 2 ..... Ascii

    The message areas are a cheat, it will show the ANSI in B&W which isn't
    right, but it the best I can come up with for Mystic. I re-wrote
    bulletin.mps and tdih (This Day In History) for ASCII already, working on others. Also re-doing all the menus to look more Mystic like:

    Main Menu...

    (A)ccount Settings (M)essage Menu (F)ile Areas (S)ystem Bulletins (C)omment to SysOp (L)ast 10 Callers (O)ne Liners (V)oting Booth (U)ser Listing (B)BS Listing (P)age SysOp (T)ime Bank (X)perimental (^) Gallery
