    Actually, no it didn't fix it.. i am seeing what the issue is though, the screen is off by about 3 lines, the bottom footer is now showing above the input line. It should be about 3 or 4 lines lower. The header shows but gets pushed off the screen. I thought it was maybe a screen resolution but that is 80x25 .. Not sure where to go from here now.. OH well..

    Hello friend;

    What exactly are you asking for?

    There is no such thing as a 'copy of [MRC]'. You might as well ask for a copy of the entire internet...that would be easier.

    Also, you are currently taking part in the BBS version of multi-relay chat! I am not a member of your system, and yet, I can read and reply to your message!

    I think I have answered your question, but I would not be suprised if you
    have more. I can only hope I have the answers you need!

    Hopefully, you know how to ask...

    Perhaps it was me who misunderstood the question, then?

    I assumed that fsxNet was teh BBS equivalent of MRC. Is he asking for IRC or mIRC? I'm wholly confused now...

    MRC is Multi-Relay Chat by Stackfault of The Bottomless Abyss BBS.
    There are over 100 BBSes that take part in the IRC-like chat.

    Its a software add-on for Mystic BBS software.
    There are also solutions for other BBS softwares, now, created by others in the community.

    To answer the OP, MRC is available from The Bottomless Abyss BBS - and many other BBSes like Quantum Wormhole, 2o fOr beeRS or The Agency.

    Just make sure you download the newest version, which I think is... 1.29a at the moment.

    I have installed this Version of MRC. I used the latest pralpha Mystic BBS A47 on a Windows 32 bit system but the mrcmain.ans looks Distorted and The scrollback function doesn't work. Any ideas?

    I had this exact problem, it's because the window that is created by Mystic when a user logs on is basically a DOS window, and with the new A47 the settings for it changed. What you need to do is open the box that is created on your task bar and when opened right click on the upper left hand corner then choose settings, when the Console WIndows Properties window opens change the window size to 80 width and 24 height..

    That will fix the issue... I went crazy with this for a couple of weeks. There is also some changes that needs to me made in the mpl on how it calls the screen. I am not sure what they were, I am sure Paulie420 or one of the other guys can fill you in on that...

    AL

    ... It said "insert disk #3", but only two will fit...

    Some of us have worked up fixes for these issues. The problem is that Mystic a47 uses a new (GD) command syntax - so fixing scrollback is easy, you just have to edit the .mpy with the correct (GD) command syntax. I think I have a fixed version ZIPPED up... it certainly isn't a certified or released 'fix', but maybe I should add the ZIP to 2o for ppl to download. I've sent it to a few folks...

    Lemme see if I can't find the zip. It has the edited .mpy, and a few ANSI files... and I think an .ini file, to make it all work happily on a47.

    I'll put it in the 'Other Mystic Mods' file area on 20ForBeers.com:1337... we'll name it mrc_fix_unsupported.zip.
