Almost certainly. The resemblance is already bordering on uncanny. Just the other day I looked at it and thought: god damn, but that sure looks like version 2.0.

I was there, eating my Lucky Charms in front of my Mystic configuration screen ... the spoon dropped into my bowl with a splash and I said... this looks exactly like Mystic '95.

Yes, that is exactly what the Mystic 1.12 server looks like by default.
There are some differences in functionality between the 2.0 proof of concept and current 1.12 but the appearance is the same.

There was a Mystic v3.0 I started writing many many years ago in Java.
It was to the point where it actually had a working telnet server and login and stuff. It was structured mostly like the current Mystic but written in Java.
Mystic BBS 3.11 for Workgroups.

I'm jealous. Are you planning on releasing it?

I have to ask in here if it will run on Ubuntu Linux.

You are right to have skipped over Mystic ME and Mystic 8. Serious flops.

I've heard that Microsoft Visual Studio supports developing Android (and iOS) apps, with C# I believe. I'm not sure on the details, but I would imagine it also compiles down to a JVM-compatible bytecode.

I've never tried it but I think Free Pascal can also compile to JVM byte code and to also Android's Java spinoff virtual machine. I think Java is used a lot more than people believe it is.

Hi what are the implications of Ubuntu Linux for BBSes in year 2038? I am
asking it is very interesting don't you think? Where can I download it?

And nobody will talk about the dark years of Mystic Longhorn XP Professional ... (with its new
message base format that is also a database and a filesystem and the innovative TUI with the 52
character wide sidebar).
Java is (or was?) the standard language for developing Android apps. The reason is that Android devices could have any CPU chosen by the device manufacturer. Most Android devices on the market are ARM, but there
have been some Android devices in the recent past with Intel CPUs. With
a language like Java, of course, the code compiles to a bytecode that
runs in a virtual machine of sorts, so the same binary is able to run no matter what CPU is in the device.
Recently, I've seen that Kotlin is now another language supported for Android development in Google's Android Studio. I've heard Kotlin is designed to have a simpler syntax, but Kotlin compiles down to a binary that is compatible with the same Java virtual machine that the Java code would compile for.

How long did it take you to upgrade from Mystic CP/M to 3.11?
How long did it take you to upgrade from Mystic CP/M to 3.11?Well, after having to compile mods, readjust the LF/CR in every text
file and recompiling of the executables, about 5 days.
That wouldn't surprise me. Android devices don't actually
ship with a JVM, but rather use Dalvik; JVM byte codes
are converted to Dalvik on the fly.
Hope the Kaypro was up for the job. The luggable I used at Oklahoma State University for the Agronomy professor worked slower than my C64
Breadbox. ;)

I've never loved the syntax of it though.
That's true, it's not the common Java JVM you usually see. And
actually, a while ago, I heard they stopped using Dalvik and switched to another one called ART:

I recently picked up an SX-64, the luggable C64. I have been working on getting my old C64 bbs back up using Image and writing some code to use Images "network" feature to join it to SciNet and gate messages back and forth.
Seeing as most of my stuff is still in storage due to our renos, I have been using the SX-64 as my test machine. Portable my ass, it weighs over 20 lbs and takes up half of the kitchen table. Plus, as I get older, trying to debug code on a 5" CRT isn't all that easy.
Do you want to run Ubuntu 38.04 LTS (RISC-V? 128 or 256 bit?) on yourtoaster,
the light bulb or in
a VM on your watch?

I have been wanting to get an SX-64 also. We have a couple regular c64 that one just makes me grin for some reason.
If you get the code working I would really love to incorporate it into v3.0 of Image, I'm getting some people asking if we can get some network support like C=Net or Your Network hooked into ImageNet. Right now we
are working on hooking back in C-Net DS2 boards since that is being updated also. When 2.0 was being written back in the mid 90's the plans were to hook into Fido style networks, the hooks are there in 3.0 we
just haven't had the time to write the files to convert the Fido style networks to it.. let me know if you are interested..
desk) has to swap cassette tapes. Even this will be fixed when we write the drivers for multiple cassette recorders. Can't wait!!
Over the years I acquired two of the SX-64 machines from a couple of clients. For many years I too wanted a SX-64, then two of them landed in my lap over the course of a year. One I keep under my desk (right next
to me as I type this) to occasionally pull it out so the kids (even the adult ones) can pop in a Donkey Kong cart for a quick play. Also use it
When I got Planet X2 by Dave Murray last year my 20 year old tried
playing it on one of the SX-64's using its built in 5" screen...He ask
how we got anything done in the 80's after that! LOL

At this same time...was eating dinner with my roommate. I was sitting in front of the B&W 12" TV playing a game when Dr. Ruth made a statement making me almost choke on my food & spitting it out by accident. Very lucky I didn't blow the system up. ;)
