    Just downloaded the lastest prealpha of A36 (from Nov. 3 2017) and installed
    it under Windows10 and my poll batch file now works. It didn't work under the former A36 earlier this morning so it's definitely the new version that did
    it. It also has more debug messages. One thing to note, I could poll from the Hub, but not from the point system before, now both sides work. I made no changes other than to update by installing to c:\nmystic and then running: @ECHO OFF
    REM up - upgrade mystic
    C:
    cd \nmystic
    copy mystic.exe c:\mystic
    copy mis2.exe c:\mystic
    copy mis.exe c:\mystic
    copy fidopoll.exe c:\mystic
    copy mutil.exe c:\mystic
    copy mbbsutil.exe c:\mystic
    copy nodespy.exe c:\mystic
    copy qwkpoll.exe c:\mystic
    copy scripts\mplc.exe c:\mystic\scripts
    copy scripts\mide.exe c:\mystic\scripts
    cd \mystic\scripts
    mplc -all

    Yes, I should do that now. I had been backing up with rsync under Linux
    before I ran Windows, but things are getting to the point I should be able to backup under Windows10 to the same terabyte drive either j: or i: just have
    to figure out getting it all under Windows10 which I've never done before ;) Right now I keep the A35 release under \omystic and the newest pre-alpha
    under \nmystic. Running test is under \mystic of course, I do the same under Linux. That way I can move back and forth as needed and get at all the .exe files. Will have to update to the newest pre-alpha after this message.

    I did get things running under Windows10 pretty much fully. I have mis
    and mis2 server windows and tabs in each. I also got a few DD commands to
    do something for the first time.
    There was a stuck mis2.bsy in semaphores that had blocked me, which I
    deleted. I got events, Detected semaphore: c:\mystic\semaphore\echomail.in
    it ran mutil mailin.ini with result: 0 (OK I guess). So semaphores should
    work with mis2 events now. Time to update again ;)

    Revised for backup ;)

    @ECHO OFF
    REM up.bat - upgrade mystic
    J:
    cd \Backup
    move mystic.zip omystic.zip
    c:\mystic\zip -r mystic.zip c:\mystic
    REM To show files in zip:
    REM c:\mystic\zip -sf mystic.zip | more
    C:
    cd \nmystic
    copy mystic.exe c:\mystic
    copy mis2.exe c:\mystic
    copy mis.exe c:\mystic
    copy fidopoll.exe c:\mystic
    copy mutil.exe c:\mystic
    copy mbbsutil.exe c:\mystic
    copy nodespy.exe c:\mystic
    copy qwkpoll.exe c:\mystic
    copy scripts\mplc.exe c:\mystic\scripts
    copy scripts\mide.exe c:\mystic\scripts
    cd \mystic\scripts
    mplc -all


    I backup to a terabyte drive J: under the \Backup directory. others need to adjust this for their backup location. Used the old Linux omystic.zip as the 'old' backup so you have at least one even if this one fails. Not sure if I need to add a 'del omystic.arc' before the move, I might need to do that.
    Might want to add a datecode or something to keep that straight. Likely can
    do that with mystic$1.zip and doing 'up 20171105' to kick it off, then the
    move has to change. Not sure how to handle the move in that case. Uses the zip-info that is already part of mystic as zip.exe to do the work. Might want to add a -T to verify the backup.
    Seems I have the newest version of the pre-alpha note tagline
