The Pre-alphas are being updated for all platforms since I was unable to have a full A37 today (some things are partially implemented and I don't want to release an official alpha like that).

Windows, Linux, Pi, and OSX all bit versions will be up in about 20-30
minutes when I wrap up with the Pi and OSX.

Well dang! I had one more request to sneak in. I was hoping to get
mci2str() implemented in MPY. I'm looking for way to get BBS information,
and mci2str seems to be the easiest way to do it.

I just added that while on break from work, and I will upload the Linux/64 version to prealphas that has this in it in a few minutes.

If you need anything else added to the cfg dictionary or anywhere else let me know and I'll try to get them in for you. I want to get some box and listbox functions in soon as well as that msg_post, msg_editor, text editor, etc.

Then you may want to upgrade and take a look at the whatsnew.txt. You may be pleasantly surprised!

And maybe add stripmci() as well?

I had just pulled an alpha about an hour ago. Should I go and pull it again?

I'm still undecided about adding string-related stuff that can be done in native Python with a few lines of code. I may add the MCI codes but I am not sure how far I'll go with it. You can use these in the meantime (probably better/faster ways to do this with regex or something):

def stripmci (str):
pos = str.find("|")

while pos != -1:
str = str[:pos] + str[pos+3:]
pos = str.find("|")

return str

def mcilen (str):

return len(stripmci(str))

Fair enough. String related functions can usually be handled in python. But because the MCI codes are pretty specific to Mystic, I had thought that a simple library function to strip them would be warranted. But as you said,
its easy enough to do in python.

Yep, in the case of the MCI functions I am leaning towards having them, its more general string functions that I am going to leave out because there is probably a plethora of Python examples and functions floating around.

Wow.. lots of stuff appearing :)

I take pleasure from trying to spot the changes (not all documented as yet as
I understand things are work in progress :))

System Config Themes
Echomail Groups (woot!)
SMTP Server Options

Very exciting.

Best, Paul

System Config Themes

This one has been there for quite a while (1.11?), I just updated the cfgroot1.ans file and changed the name from "Custom" to "Shareware BBS" which I did not bother noting in the whatsnew. Those who want that "Shareware" theme to look how I intended it can copy the cfgroot1.ans from the data directory over their old cfgroot1.ans. It looks the same as Mystic2Demo's shareware theme did.
