      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 1:129/215 a9a3c66a       REPLY: 1:116/17 cde285c1       TZUTC: -0400        W4> Good afternoon all. I was wondering where FTN style nodelists should go        W4> within Mystic directory and how Mystic uses them (ie do they need to be        W4> compiled, etc)?              Mystic does not require compiled nodelists, it parses the raw nodelist without       compilation.              The raw combined nodelists are stored in the DATA directory as nodelist.txt.              Mystic's MUTIL can be configured to point to various directories where you       have nodelists stored and calculate the latest nodelist for each networt and       combine + copy them into nodelist.txt in your data folder. You could also do       this manually by simply copy a full FidoNet nodelist as nodelist.txt in your       DATA directory (if you only have Fido, or using copy file+file if you have       more).              Nodelists are used in a few ways. There is a nodelist brower where you can       query the data in the nodelists to search for BBS names, systems, addresses,       and do things like list all systems in a zone, net or node.              You can optionally force Netmail messages to require the address the user       sends to is found in the nodelist data.              And then also the MIS client/server can use the nodelist to send mail or poll       mail directly from addresses that are not configured in your echomail nodes.              ... No one knows what's next, but everybody does it.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 2022/04/03 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 * Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/340 616 123/10       SEEN-BY: 123/120 131 129/215 305 330 331 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50       SEEN-BY: 154/700 203/0 218/700 840 220/70 90 221/6 226/17 18 30 100       SEEN-BY: 227/114 201 229/110 111 206 307 310 317 400 424 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/470 550 664 700 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/2 3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2320/105 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
