Yup there is up to right soon come new releases of mysticBBS for a version
1.08 and for 2.0 have I heard and there is working on some utilities and
mods for them too.

the msd_gen and msd_doors echo of FDN coul perhaps been put in under one in
Mystic echoes and could be taken of as it comes under Mystic FDN.

The normally Mystic echo is Misc stuff for MysticBBs and then there the
rel1 and rel2 for its release, the ods&ends is just clos off echo there
not is in use and is more to fit in as for like file echo Mystic =
ODS&ENDS.

The triming could go to be so it just is the first distription before the -
and discription after it is the full description for the echo.

Take care
