Yeah, I tried saving them as .rip files. but mystic did not seem to show the file when requested. So not sure what you have to do in mystic to get it to show a .rip

I just did a quick search through Mystic's list of features on the Mystic web site:
http://www.mysticbbs.com/features.html

I don't see a mention of RIP graphics there.. My guess would be Mystic doesn't support RIP, but I don't know for sure.

I am just basing trying to do it on that Mystic would pass on the rip file to a terminal program capable of displaying it. I thought someone had mentioned they have seen it done with Mystic. However, maybe I understood their statements incorrectly.

Yea, RIP is basically ASCII files that are converted by the terminal software - so Mystic has the capability of sending them; just like SIXE gfx... problem is not a lot of people DESIGN RIP anym0re - bbSes like

is there any good windows based rip graphics programs to make menus?

I know of TombART for DOS; dunno about more current options - that was one of the issues w/ adding RIP graphics.

I do know, however, that there have been some cool RIP art releases in 2o22 - I wonder what those artists are using.

To my knowledge that's correct...

I wonder, can I run RIP doors w/o supporting RIP on the main bbS... but alas; who knows.

If I remember correctly, yes you could.

My first modem when I got hooked on BBSing was 300 baud. It was as if someone at the other end was typing it all in for you.. ;)

Same. 300bps internal manual modem on my Apple //e.

Make sure that you have all of the prereq libraries installed first. That was my issue getting it to run on my Zorin machine.

Yep, back then going to 2400 baud changed everything. :)

Back in the good ol' days if you didn't have native rip support, you could substitute rip files for ans files and move your ans files to asc files. This would give you default rip with fallback to ansi in the case of missing rip/ans files. Never saw a rip client without ANSI support.

Yes, I don't think I said RIP clients don't have ANSI support..?

That wasn't the implication, only at the minimum they all support ANSI fallback from RIP and I haven't seen otherwise.

My 1st modem was a 300bps external Apple Modem - for my old Apple //c. I seem to remember paying around $300 for it. That would be $1 per bps. That would be like $600+ at today's pricing with inflation.

My first was a 14.4 :-) I was using it on a 8088 dual floppy, and would
have to force it to 9600 for uploads.

One of the local boards had a special response if you slowed to 300 and
logged in, and I agree it was like someone was typing it. :-) Kinda like
in the movies... ;-)
