+===== 1.12 Alpha 43 =====
+<code>
+ + Mystic now has two new door MCI codes:
+     %A - Returns the user's realname with spaces replaced with underscores
+     %B - Returns the user's realname
+ + Expanded the BBS domain from 25 to 45 characters.
+ + Mystic will now inform you if you try to edit a message that has already
+   been sent.  It already informs you if the message was sent while you were
+   editing it (which tends to happen if you have messages set to send on save
+   as opposed to logoff).
+ + Mystic's private user to user chat system now has a split screen chat
+   option.  A new template userchat.ini and userchat.ans are required now to
+   be accessible by your theme otherwise your user to user chat will not
+   work.  See the default installation for these new files.
+ + Mystic now has Mystic-DOS, a built in command shell console that allows
+   for various disk and BBS functions within a command shell interface that
+   mimics both Bash and MS-DOS/Windows shell commands.  Disk management,
+   executing MPL and Python scripts, snooping and chatting with users on
+   other nodes, editing ANSI and text files, etc.
+   A new menu command *D has been added but it cannot be executed unless the
+   user has a security level of 255.
+ ! Fixed a bug in Mystic Python that would cause a crash whenever the
+   msg_open function failed to open or create a message base.
+ ! Fixed a bug in Mystic wildcard match functions and increased speed by a
+   good amount.
+ + (when country blocking is enabled)Mystic now logs the user's country in the node log along with their IP
+   and hostname
+ + The install program now has an "extract" function to go along with the
+   replace function.  Type "install help" for more details.
+ + MUTIL now has an AutoHatch function to automate periodic hatching
+   of files from the file base.  See default mutil.ini for more information.
+ + New SysOp menu command: *3 This allows a SysOp to snoop (watch) a user on
+   another node.
+ + You can now press CTRL-E when editing menu settings on the Display File
+   field to open up the ANSI editor.
+ ! In various places whenever a file rename or move needs to occur, Mystic
+   will first try a fast move and if it fails, it will attempt to copy the
+   file to the new destination and then delete the original.
+ + When reading forced message bases, Mystic will now allow the user to quit
+   reading if they've already read all of the messages.
+ + Mystic Message Base and File Base editors now have an /U Unsubscribe option
+   This command will automatically generate an Areafix or Filefix Netmail
+   request to unsubscribe from a base (and option to delete the base after)
+ + The Echomail node editor now has three new options in the / menu:
+- Send Areafix request to the selected node
+- Send Filefix request to the selected node
+- Send Netmail message to Sysop of the selected node
+   All of these will allow you to quickly and easily contact an Echomail node
+   to communicate with the SysOp or to add/remove message and file bases or
+   anything else the Area/Filefix commands allow without having to fumble
+   around with addresses and passwords!
+ + System Configuration now has a log file viewer option in the Other menu
+   next to the Text and ANSI editors.
+ + New Menu command: *4 This opens the log file viewer
+ + Text editor now has a (CTRL+J) Jump to Line number option
+ + Text editor now has a (CTRL+W) Where function which allows full boolean
+   line searching using paranthesis and &|! operators
+ + Text editor now has a (CTRL+A) Again function which repeats the last
+   Where function again
+ ! MUTIL was not adding a NULL at the end of the last PKT when doing a rescan
+   of message bases.
+ + When importing and forward netmail, MUTIL will now allow an address to be
+   defined, allowing Netmail to a certain name on the current setup to be
+   forwarded to different name and/or network node.  See default MUTIL.INI for
+   more information.
+ + New menu command "UF" Edit Twit Filter.  This allows a user to edit their
+   twit filter, which is a list of users whose messages will be automatically
+   skipped when reading message bases.  Each user can define up to 50 users
+   they wish to ignore.
+ + MUTIL now creates and removes BUSY data before and after processing TIC
+   files and hatches.
+ ! Fixed a bug when using the save file to message menu command where Netmail
+   messages were not properly being flagged as private.
+ + The SysOp name in the EchoMail node editor can now have an address appended
+   to it, and Mystic will send the message to that address when using the
+   "NetMail SysOp" option.  So if the Echomail node address is 21:1/100 but
+   when you use the Netmail to SysOp function you want to send it to 21:1/101
+   instead because 1:/100 is a hub only, then you can set the SysOp name to
+   "Avon@21:1/101" to override the address.
+    <ALPHA 1.12 A43 RELEASED -- March 2019>
