You can even upload ANSI       files directly into the editor and it renders properly right in the editor. You       can also switch to a "TheDraw-like" draw mode.              I don't think any other BBS has the same awareness/server-side imaging that       Mystic does. Even offline readers don't. Its a feature that started in Mystic       in the early 2000s and others just haven't found worth implementing, I guess?              ... Fer sell cheep: BBS spel chekker.
