What I've done to make things easier is to breakout different sections of the
original "mutil.ini" file into sectons. One I call nodelist.ini. In it, you
need to have the location of your different nodelist files defined. Another
one I broke out, I call mailin.ini. The original mutil.ini has examples that
you can follow. You just need to define, for instance, node numbers with local
file locations.

As to archiver, the node lists I'm getting are all using the "zip" archiver.
If I remember correctly, you set that option up when applying for a node
number.

Here's a github site (https://github.com/christiansacks/tqw_mutil_inis) where
Christian Sacks (tqwnet, the quantum wormhole), uploaded a bunch of his *.ini
files. That may help you more than slogging through the whole mutil.ini file.

If those files don't help, post again and we'll keep at it!

I haven't found it yet.. but I think I have figured out my filetoss and
echomail toss stanza's... looks like you need a default config up until the
node specific stuff and then do the node numbers etc.. ie a dir_prefix as a
default and hen one specific for each network. Gonna try that when I get home.
or now.. shhh.. don't tell my boss... wait.. I'm my boss..

Just found the nodelist merge.. I see how people do it.. just point to the
file folder it gets put into by the tic tosser.

Thanks for your help.. those ini examples make a lot more sense to me then the
originals.
