    It ain't the only one. Mystic's been shitting the bed lately when it comes to dates, mainly because PASCAL can't count to 2020 for some reason. I guess that's what happens when you make a program in a language old enough that it could be my mother. No offense to g00r00, of course. You're better off
    treading carefully with anything involving dates.

    I don't think it's a specifically PASCAL thing ... looking at some old source code there are some logic decisions regarding century when year is < 20 ..
    when dates are being converted between Julian and Gregorian... that's where I think the issue is :)

    Have you not been reading this echo? There is all sorts of things going wrong since 2020.

    Frankly I'm a little surprised at how so many folks stick with
    buggy, closed-source software, where the author disappears for
    months at a time, with no notice or reason given... Coming up on
    a year now since the last update, isn't it?

    Maybe you guys should upgrade to Synchronet... Problems are
    addressed nearly in real-time (by the author and others), and it's
    open-source so you can change it yourself if you want.

    Just a thought. Just a suggestion. :-)

    Probably because I've been doing it for 23 years straight, longer than anyone else.

    But yeah I had a major surgery, my dad died, and I've been a full time
    provider for someone with stage 4 cancer in addition to working my 50 hours
    a week at a real job.

    There have been plenty of builds over the past 10 months while I completely recoded the theme system, the installation, upgrade, and editors.

    Thanks for being an asshole though, this is a good reason why I don't bother
    to particpate much here.

    Yikes, sorry to hear it man. That's rough. As always, I thank you for your contributions to the community. I'm happy to donate $50 to the American
    Cancer Society as a token of my appreciation here.

    Sounds like doing this has helped keep you sane.

    I know how that is. I spent the past several years up until her passing this time last year taking care of my mother, who was suffering from kidney
    failure, blindness, sarcoidosis and god knows what else not on the top of my head. Hopefully this year is better for you, g00r00.

    I...for one...want to thank you for putting in all the work you have to make
    a package which does work well & has everything you would need...rather than have to put together other programs like we used to have to do. Got my MCSE
    20 years ago and let's consider the bugs that Windows/Word/Firefox/IE has compared to Mystic. It would sometimes be years before Microsoft & others
    MIGHT consider doing anything about it...rather than the months we get with this software. I would take months over the BS of having to wait like what
    has happened in the past.

    If it wasn't for your work over all these years...would have no where else to hang out after getting the shaft from Facebook. This software gives me a
    reason to do something after having my mind numbed in retail.

    Thank you for everything you've done for all of us. I do appreciate the work you've put into this software.

    It was a fun read ;)

    People use Pascal stuff frequently without knowing it. Things like Skype, WinRAR, FruityLoops are all Pascal. A lot of Windows installer systems are built in Pascal for some reason too which is kind of odd.

    Ouch, sorry to hear things have been a bit tough of late. 2019 appears to have been tough for a number of people. :/ Let's hope 2020 treats you better.

    Could be, well done.

    Sorry to hear about all of that. Nothing fun about any of it, and
    I hope this new year brings improvements for you.

    Okay... but were any of those available to anybody? My statement
    above was referring to official public releases, and was accurate.

    Thanks for being an asshole though, this is a good reason why I
    don't bother to particpate much here.

    I certainly wasn't trying to be an asshole, and apologize if you
    took it that way. I thought I was kind of summarizing/condensing
    what others had been saying, and honestly.... if you look back at
    what I wrote (above), is there anything there which is not
    factual? I don't think I said anything untrue there. Again,
    nothing personal about it, just observation and reality. Hope
    things get better for you and you can find time to continue your
    excellent contributions to the BBS community. Best regards.
