Mystic BBS
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, OSX, 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) in addition to various DOS-type door formats.
- Automatic random ANSI display (i.e. ansi.ans, ansi.an1, ansi.an2, etc would display randomly).
- A fully featured ACS (access control system) and MCI display codes
- Highly integrated with ANSI graphics including full screen editor, lightbar menus, lightbar file listings and message reading.
- Integrated Telnet, FTP, POP3, SMTP servers
- Advanced, feature-rich JAM and Squish message base system with offline mail.
- Multiple platform distributions available including Windows, OSX and Linux
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.
