Mystic BBS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mystic BBS is a bulletin board system software program started in 1994. Mystic is the first DOS-based BBS software program to support a native telnet server. It has since been ported to Microsoft Windows, OS/2 and Linux.

Some of the more notable features of Mystic BBS include:

• Proprietary scripting language called Mystic Programming Language (MPL).
• Dynamic menus and fully customizable prompts.
• Multiple user-selectable themes.
• DOOR32 support (James Coyle was one of the original authors of DOOR32).
• Automatic random ANSI display (i.e. ansi.ans, ansi.an1, ansi.an2, etc would display randomly).
• A fully featured ACS (access control system).
• Telnet server
• Advanced, feature rich message base system/
• Linux distributions available

Attracted to the flexibility and potential that the scripting language provides, a number groups, such as ACiDic BBS modding, Cyberia, Demonic, DoRE, Vanguard, wOE!mODDING and Wicked formed for the sole purpose of writing BBS mods for SysOps who run Mystic.
