    Yeah, C is roughly a subset of C++.

    Not quite. C came out in '72 while C++ came out in '85 and is an extension of C.

    I don't think the time of release of the languages matters. I've sometimes seen people say C++ is a superset of C, so I think it can be said that C is a subset of C++.

    I've heard initially, C++ was implemented as CFront, which was a literal extension of C, but C++ has evolved to be its own stand-alone implementation.

    you reply to the person instead of typing all. you're using the fseditor.

    Synchronet is a pain in the ass.

    but you have the ability to change it into anything if it's a pain in the
    ass to you. i see you're running mystic.

    mystic bbs became what those guys said synchronet was. just a bunch of
    boring stock boards mostly. on top of that it still doesn't have its own fossil driver, right?

    btw, i never got a thank you for getting their domain name back to them.
    tacky.
