Where do I get the most current info about Sync? Install, etc.ããI went to www.synchro.net, but the instructions there caused a failure to build on standard Ubuntu server...

DOS, C=, Amiga - because if I remember correctly I can run all of these at once and prompt the user which will look correct on their hardware.ããI run a Mystic bbs, but with my heavy modification the software isn't so friendly to period-correct retro hardware.
