    It seems to be the time to start looking into building 64-bit (x64) executables for Windows.- sbbsctrl (built with C++Builder 6) definitely won't be moving to 64-bit as is- 3rd party libs (libmozjs, cryptlib, sdl) might provide their own challengesBut the additional Windows security and address space available to 64-bit Windows programs might be important to some sysops, if not now, in the not too distant future.

    heyyyyyyyy very interesting!!!... even the sysctrl gui can be platform independent and could also be used on linux. Api rest/mqtt for config/status for the sbbs daemon could be very powerfull

    I put some additional work into the proof-of-concept, so it has a few more features and allows customizing the layout a bit.I also implemented one tab of the Terminal Server Configuration dialog. This calls an API, which then writes the updated settings to sbbs.ini. Not sure what your thoughts are on having the web interface manipulate the sbbs.ini file though -- if you think it's OK I'll probably continue with more of the configuration dialog, but if you'd rather not have it writing to sbbs.ini then I can remove that portion of the interface.
