I had a fatal hard drive crash where my Mystic bbs. So I bought new drive, installed windows 10 and got the latest prealphs (6/21).

I finally found backup I did the was about a year ago A46 and was able to recover my menus and ansi's, etc. Didn't back up door folder so doing that from scratch.

1st question is can I get my old user file inserted somehow. I had a lot of users and I really would like to get that file with that data from A46 (what's name of file anyways?)

2nd question I used Mutl Nodelist.ini (where it tells to merge my fido and fsxnet list. No errors and I'm sure it processed correctly. But when I go to Message Menu, select B for browse nodelist and search for 1:124/5014 or any node number I get nothing. I press ? to get example of how to search and nothing comes up. So I don't know what is wrong here. I am sure I processed nodelist correctly. What is the name of the file Mystic looks for when it searches for info?

In other words how can I check if my merging nodelist is working?

Thanks for any assistance. I do like this current A47 6/28. Great Job and much appreciated.

Sounds like you have many options. If you have a full backup of your A46 BBS then the easiest thing to do would be to restore the A46 backup and then upgrade it to A47.

If you want to start fresh with the latest A47 but keep your A46 users then copy "users.dat" from the A46 data folder to A47 data folder. As long as you are using A46 final release, you can copy the users.dat file directly into A47 as the data format has not changed between the versions.

Mystic expects your Nodelist to be called nodelist.txt in the data folder. It does not require any compliation, Mystic parses raw nodelists directly in real-time. If you don't have a nodelist.txt in your DATA folder then the search option will not work.
