For Intel Linux and Windows...

Fixed an MPL bug (hopefully) and added an (undocumented) new message search system that I've been working on (ie parenthesis, & | ! just like MPL!) which may or may not stay... among some other adjustments.

Example...

Just tried: AVON & MUSIC & NOVEMBER

Hit two posts about results for the November music trivia quiz.

This will really help to find things in growing echo areas, it looks really granular which will be needed over time.

Great work!

Best, Paul

Yep its certainly a nice to have! My main concern about this is the speed in which it searches, because its obviously granular as you said so it takes longer to search than the previous search model. The more words to the search the longer it will take.

Mystic does everything by paging memory in real time because it was designed to run in 640K memory while still allowing you to actively scroll through lists of millions of messages. This was maybe a technical marvel at the time, but it also means that a much slower search could really make the UI feel sluggish while navigating messages (because it searches while you're moving around).

I have the linux 64bit version as of 18:00PT today and I can verify that double-up is working. (Yay!) Howerver ibol.mpy and sbbl.mpy are still aborting and causing the system to drop carrier. The supplied testpython.mpy is
working just fine though. I'll do more testing to see if it's something specific that is causing the abort.

I tested the msgread.mpy which uses those functions and it appears to work fine with the code I have here, so that was all I did so far. If you can pinpoint it or provide an example that would be great.

I didn't change any code in that area since its initial implementation.

I'll have to hold off on A37 I guess :(

Ok, I tested it after the 12/31/17 release and appears to be working just
fine. I already reported that MPL's are breaking for me though. But it doesn't seem that all of them are breaking. Some will run, but when I quit
out of them, they'll abort with an error 216 in the logs. It seems like only the apps that use an array are the ones that fail.
