-===== 1.05 Alpha 1 =====
+===== Version 1.05a =====
+<code>
+ ! Mystic was not updating the user's total message posts if they were
+   posting via a REP offline mail packet.
+ ! Mystic was not pausing on a screen full when displaying a text file!
+   I was testing some code right before the 1.05 release and I left the
+   page pausing stuff commented out.  Duh... =)
+ + Mystic now allows message bases to be defined as "mandatory" in the
+   scan setting.  This means that users will never be able to toggle the
+   base off in their scan settings.
+ ! When executing an MPE program, the arrow key functions would stop working
+   after a call to the MenuCmd procedure.
+ + Mystic now displays "None" for the user's current message and file base
+   if they have never selected a message base instead of just blank spaces.
+ + New MCI code: IL.  This code returns either ON or OFF depending on the
+   user's node invisibility status.
+ + Mystic now allows file bases to be defined as "mandatory" in the scan
+   base's scan setting.  This means that users will never be able to toggle
+   the base OFF in their scan settings.
+ + New command option for the MN (Message New Scan) option.  When supplying
+   /M on the command line, the MN command will only scan bases that are
+   tagged as mandatory ("Always").  I will probably be re-writing the
+   MN and FN commands completely sometime in the near future...
+ ! The percentage bar in MIDE would get corrupt when compiling a .MPS file
+   larger than 32,000 bytes.  Fixed!

+===== Version 1.05b =====
+<code>
+ ! Fixed a bug in the Message Base Editor of MCONFIG.EXE which caused the QWK
+   Index to get corrupted.  This caused QWK packets to be corrupted when
+   created via Mystic BBS.
+ ! Fixed a bug in the File Base Editor of MCONFIG.EXE.  The Default New Scan
+   field was not allowing file bases to be set to "Always Scan".
+ + The full screen editor quote window now saves the current text position
+   after quoting, and will resume at that position if a user opens the quote
+   window again.
+ + In the user editor, the [ and ] keys now wrap around to the first/last
+   record into the user database.  This makes things a little easier...
+ + The search function in the user editor now allows a record number to be
+   entered.  If a record number entered, Mystic will automatically jump to
+   that record.
+ + Added a new menu hotkey: TAB.  When "TAB" is entered as a hotkey, the
+   menu command will be ran when/if a user presses the TAB key.
+ + The DF mci code in language prompts can now have text after it.  After
+   a DF is encountered, Mystic will look for a space or the end of the
+   prompt.  For example, "|CL|DFhello more text here" will now be displayed
+   as expected.
+ + Added four new menu command hotkeys: RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN.  These
+   only work in non-lightbar menus and are used to detect arrow key input
+   in standard menus.
+ ! Fixed carrier detection problems in the OS/2 native version.
+ ! MIDE.EXE and MPLC.EXE were not always catching undefined variables in
+   MPS source code.
+ ! When using the Matrix login system, if the Matrix menu was not found,
+   Mystic would loop over and over printing: "Menu not found.  Loading
+   fallback."  Mystic will now exit with an error if the Matrix menu is
+   not found.
+ ! Other stuff... =)
