I've written quite a number of MPL apps and games. Most Mystic BBSes run at least one of my games and many run MRC.
I recently wrote a utility that is similar to Midnight Commander. I call it Mystic Commander. It's a light-bar driven file manager. You can use
it to copy files from anywhere within your BBS directory to another. It can view and edit ansi's and texts and run MPL programs on the fly.
I also have a number of games in the works. Pyramid Solitaire, Free-Cell Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, and Sudoku.

Yeah dude I have used quite a few of your additions, MRC is definitely
the most popular door in all of BBS land I think, you certainly paved
the way to bringing everyone in the scene closer together. I'm sure
others have said it too but thank you!
I'm looking forward to seeing your new games that you're working on, and
Mystic Commander sounds super neat - I have to check that out. Sounds
like a really sweet Sysop utility. Does it have like a config file or settings such that a sysop could configure it to allow lower security levels different access, for example s255 can do all the things, s10-s30 could be "jailed" to the files directory and only download/list and not move/edit/copy/delete/etc? Could be a neat new file index lister with
the ability of directory hierarchy.
structures. One thing I don't want it to do is escape the the BBS directory and maybe muck up the OS drives, and I have to put some safeguards in to prevent that from happening.
In my BBS in my /mystic/files/ directory I have symlinks to various dirs on different nas shares as the disk for mystic itself doesn't have much storage, so my downloadable files are on separate disks/nas shares and accessed via symlinks.

Would restricting MC to only work out of the Mystic dir prevent it
working inside symlinked dirs?

Good point. I gues the only way to know is to try it. I might just go about releaseing it and see what feedback I get.

I am ready to test ^^. Managed to get Midnight Commander working in
Mystic Sysop menu but the TTY/Terminal got messed up.
