   Hello again, g00r00!

   I just tested this, but noticed the following --   
      
   1) When specifying a path to an INI file, mutil appears to fail to find   
   mystic.dat unless it is located in the current working directory:   
      
   bbs@glimmer:~$ mutil /mnt/bbs/mystic/maint.ini   
       Load configuration      Missing MYSTIC.DAT                    FATAL   
   2022.02.02 21:43:23 MUTIL 000 Cannot read MYSTIC.DAT   
      
   Would it be possible for mutil to look for mystic.dat (too) in the directory   
   specified by the mysticbbs environment variable if it cannot find it in the   
   current directory?   
      
   2) Would it be possible to extend this "looking for INI file" to other INI   
   files than mutil.ini?   
      
   bbs@glimmer:~$ mutil maint.ini   
       Load configuration      Missing file                          FATAL   
   2022.02.02 21:41:08 MUTIL 000 Invalid INI file: maint.ini   
      
   Here I would have wished for mutil to look for maint.ini in the current   
   directory, and if it didn't find it there, to look for it in the directory   
   specified by the mysticbbs environment variable.   
      
   Obviously, this would/should only apply to INI file names without a path (i.e.   
   only to INI file names not containing any backslashes or slashes).   
      
   As usual, many thanks in advance! =)   
      
   Best regards
