   Yeah, I'm using just the main config for each game; it seems to ignore what's   
   actually specified with %WCNODEID% set to the node number and using that to   
   specify that path to the dropfile.  The docs say that some systems may need   
   to use NOFOSSIL, which works for me.  If I don't use that command, it doesn't   
   seem to work properly.  I didn't try just using "FOSSIL", so it may indeed   
   just be pickign that up...  Any way, everything is working for me now!
