  • Random File Display .ANS/.ASC

    From Jeff Earle@21:1/216 to All on Sat May 31 22:42:00 2025
    Hello All,
    When setting up files to be displayed at random during a login sequence, is it better to and/or required to have both .ans & .asc versions?
    What would happen if only .ans versions were available and the user was using ASCII as their preference or vice versa?
    Would Mystic just skip displaying the file without showing an error to the user or crash in some way?
    I understand the base filename nomenclature but the
    wiki only references .ans extensions.

    Thanks
