• Ideas for a better WINS

    From Matthew Munson@1:218/109 to All on Wed Sep 2 21:28:28 2026
    In the era of 500.3 I am thinking of developmental ideas. They can be
    3rd party programs or even internal features.

    * Improving the full screen editor

    * FSXnet Graffiti Wall Door for WINS

    * Litebar message reader/lister

    Back in the day when there was 10s of thousands of WildCat 5 sysops it was nice we can look outward for programs... Now there are only a handful of people out there...

    I don't know what to say to you. I run 2 boards, WINServer and Mystic. I like WildCat and had supported it since its release in the 90's... Welp, I love Mystics message editor.

    I see everything Hector is doing and 30 years later, for the most part, we are no further ahead on the ANSI side of the BBS.

    He added SSH for FTP but not the terminal side of the BBS.

    2026 Bimkp as added... OMG...

    It was nice back in the day when there were 1000s of developers you could make some changes... Today there are only a handful and WINServer was designed to be developed by people who know how to, unlike me.

    :(

    I'm going to remain hopeful and I'll hold out no more that 10 years to see if SSH is added to the program.
