Import FIDONET.NA into Message bases
The '[Import_FIDONET.NA]' stanza tasks MUTIL with running a function that will bulk auto create a number of message bases in Mystic for you. It look to a text file that you specify that is formatted with echoarea tag and a description of the message base.
Mystic then will create the message bases contained in this file en-mass and quickly!
Here's an snippet from a .NA file set up for Fidonet echoareas
MOVIES Movies & TV Discussion MUFFIN Maximus BBS Discussion And Support. MYSTIC Discussion and chat about the Mystic BBS software NET_DEV Fidonet Network Development NFL National Football League scores, discussion, etc. NHL The National Hockey League Discussion Echo
To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:
[general] Import_FIDONET.NA = true
There a several switches you can configure that relate to this function.
The filename to read when running the import process.
; filename to import filename = fidonet.na
Should Mystic convert echoarea tags to lowercase?
; convert tags to lower case for message base filename 1=yes lowercase_filename = 1
