I have noticed something strange going on the past weeks, that has changed. It seems if I have a program set for access requirements set to ANSI, the program is not showing up even if the user is set to ansi in the defaults. If I take the ANSI out of the access requirements, it shows up fine. I will use me as an example. In my Default Settings it reads:

Terminal Mode: Auto CP437 / ANSI (color) (mouse)

And I don't see any doors or programs that have an Access Requirement of ANSI.

I even changed my Terminal Mode to:

Terminal Mode: Auto CP437 /ANSI (color)

with the same results. If I take out the Access Requiremnet of ANSI, all is fine and I can see the program. For now I have removed ANSI from the access requirements, so my users can play them, but I'm concerned what could be causing this. What module countrols this, so I can see if I don't have the latest one, or what could I have done since the latest update to cause this. Besides the ANSI string, it's not following others requirements I have set in other areas like PROT NOT HTTP, so thats why I asked if I missed a module update.

This sounds like a problem that was introduced recently (after v3.19b was release) and fixed on Feb-6:
http://git.synchro.net/gitpushlog.ssjs#f5fed0b229e70b79a5ebb330af98a348ccbbfd6

with the same results. If I take out the Access Requiremnet of ANSI, all is fine and I can see the program.

It's Synchronet itself (e.g. sbbs.dll for Windows).
