That's what I was thinking, but wanted to make sure it was still
correct. :)

Glad to have helped. ;)

From my experience so far, which is exceptionally limited, the Win32 versions of Mystic appear to be a lot more stable for novice SysOps like myself. I started with Linux64 versions a couple of months back and discovered that the "mis" executable sometimes races (100% CPU) when passing control back and
forth between external doors. I had similar issues when clients would disconnect without logging off, although this didn't appear to happen every time (race condition possibly?). To cut a long story short, I often logged on to my BBS only to find that Mystic was happily burning away at 100% CPU usage.

Of course, this could (most likely) be down to my MIS/BNU/DOSEMU configuration skills, but the A46 Win32 version doesn't appear to exhibit these issues at
all (well, not with NETFOSS anyhow). Now I've gotten over the initial disappointment of not running my BBS on a Linux server - it currently runs in
a Windows XP VM - I'm looking forward to buying a dedicated Win32 box as a final solution. All in all, I'm very happy with Win32 as a host OS.

As for FOSSIL support, I can't recommend NETFOSS highly enough: the guy who develops it is a very amenable chap, and all too willing to address any issues you may encounter (he quickly released updates when I came across an issue a while back).

I'm being thanked for running a 32-bit Windows system and not for bein a super-duper Linux hacker wearing a hoodie staring at green zeros-and-ones trickling down the screen to the score of a techno-musi soundtrack?

Hey... I resemble that remark. ;) (I even have a bash script that will do t matrix rain)

I was actually thanking you for your input. :)

LOL I know. I was being ironical.

So was I. ;)

I'm also not one of those people who will try to tell someone what OS to use. It's personal preference for whatever you are trying to do on that system. I actually have both Linux and Windows systems here. :)

Hallo Atreyu,

I'm using Linux wearing normal clothes and listening to rock/metal music,
but also with green on black screens :)

Thank you. I guess I just wasn't sure if the newer versions of Windows
64 bit still ran 32 bit programs.

Yes and you can run 16 bit programs with a hack out there BUT it is a lot easier to just run the 32 bit version and be done with it.
