One advantage of running 3.5.11 is that you don't need a registration number. You just enter your BBS's name, and it says that Hermes is registered to that BBS. But, of course I know this doesn't appeal to you, Byte, because only six externals work with 3.5.11.
But on the other hand, previous versions of Hermes II are so buggy and unstable. I remember how frustrated I got whenever Hermes would freeze up or crash, right after I had added some new files to it, or maybe created some new directories, or acquired some new users. And then, BAM, everything was lost. So, despite losing compatibility with a lot of externals, I was happy to move up to 3.5.11. If I had the knowledge and skill, I'd make improvements to 3.5.11 myself, now that I have the source and know how to compile it. But I am just some old geezer, n00b, so ....
