Hello ogg!

I'm running Debian Bookworm (12.8). I've been using Debian since the early 2000s and it has been working fine all the time on a number of different machines.

The only "workaround" for Mystic that I've had to perform is to patch cryptlib 3.4.5's ccopts.sh slightly to work with gcc 12. (Cryptlib 3.4.6 doesn't work with Mystic at all, I believe.) And to create a systemd service/unit file to launch Mystic (MIS).

Best regards
Zip
