Are you referring to ansimlst.ans?

If the file I mentioned is the one you're looking for, I would guess you would just have to create one called ansimlst.132x36.ans or whatever the proper filenames are for widescreen ansi support in Mystic. My mystic system doesn't seem to have an .ini file for that one, though. So g00r00 may not have converted that one into a template that supports .ini files yet (if I remember right, he had to do each one separately).

Hope that helps.

Nick
