I'm having an odd problem at the moment where the file toss works and places FSXNODE's FSXNET.Znn nodelist files into the right folder FSX_NODE but then
my BBS doesn't seem to process it and I cannot use the browse nodelist to
view whats in the network.

I've been following Avon's videos but am wondering if I've missed a step

When I select option B in the messages menu (for Nodelist Browser) I get the prompt for a query. Entering a query just drops back to the messages menu.

Any ideas? what have I missed?

I rewatched Avon's videos and searched the docs and the wiki and can't see where this is setup

Where do I start?

thanks

mutil runs that. It needs the right .ini generally. My nodelist.ini looks like:

; maint.ini for Mystic Pi BBS bcw142.zapto.org
; from omutil.ini (Original mutil.ini)
;
; Purge, pack & merge nodelists
;
[General]

MergeNodeLists = true
logfile=mutil.log
loglevel=3
maxlogfiles = 3
maxlogsize = 1000

You need to run the nodelist import option with mutil. That doesn't happen when files come in with tics.
