       On 2017 Aug 18 22:27:12, you wrote to Nicholas Boel:               WV> Yours and Pauls are slightly different in format.

If there's no '!' character as the first        WV> character on the line, it reads it as a hudson message base area, where       the        WV> first field is the board number. So you should be able to edit your file       to        WV> get it imported by FConfig. One other quirk to consider: it ignores the        WV> first line of the file.              ignoring that first line isn't really a quirk... the first line(s) are       generally comment lines... most of the time the contain information about       who/what built the file... those comment lines start with a semicolon and       there can be additional comment lines further inside the document but most       processors will not keep them if they rewrite the file...              what i'm trying to say is that the only lines that should be being skipped are       those starting with a semicolon...              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers?
