-====== Import FILEBONE.NA into File bases ======
+====== Import FILEBONE.NA into file bases ======
+The '[Import_FILEBONE.NA]' stanza tasks MUTIL with running a function that will bulk auto create a number of file bases in Mystic for you.
+MUTIL looks to a specially formatted text file that you specify. It's formatted with area tag and a description of the file base. Mystic then will create the files bases contained in this file en-mass and quickly!
+Here's an example of a .NA file that comes from fsxNet
+  % File Echo                   Description
+  %
+  Area FSX_NODE  0     !      Weekly Nodelists (fsxNet, etc.)
+  Area FSX_INFO  0     !      Weekly Infopacks (fsxNet, etc.)
+  Area FSX_MYST  0     !      Mystic BBS Software
+  Area FSX_MUTL  0     !      Mystic BBS Utils, Mods etc.
+  Area FSX_SOFT  0     !      BBS Software (Current + Legacy)
+  Area FSX_UTLS  0     !      BBS Utils, Tools, Networking etc.
+  Area FSX_DOOR  0     !      BBS Doors, Games etc.
+  Area FSX_ARTS  0     !      ANSI Art - Groups, Individuals etc.
+  Area FSX_TEXT  0     !      Text Files (Various)
+  %
+  % End of FSXNet Fileecho List
+To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:
+  [general]
+  Import_FILEBONE.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 = fsx_file.na
+Should Mystic convert area tags to lowercase?
+  ; convert tags to lower case for message base filename  1=yes
+    lowercase_filename = 1
+Define the root directory to create file paths under.
+When a new filebone echo is found, mUtil will create a file using "root_dir" + areatag.  So for example if root is "c:\mystic\filebase\" and the areatag is MYSTICBBS it will create "c:\mystic\filebase\MYSTICBBS".  This __root directory MUST exist__.
+  root_dir = c:\mystic\files\
+The following options define the "default" values used when creating any file bases.
+In the example below we want newly created fsxNet file bases to have  level 10 security and group 1 membership to see the file base and see its contents, level 20 security and group 1 membership to download it from the BBS and level 30 security and group 1 membership access to pull it down via FTP.
+Note that file group codes use the 'Z' ACS code whereas message groups use the 'G' ACS code. For more about this, take a look at the [[access_control|Mystic Access Control page]] on the wiki. It's an easy mistake to make otherwise when you're setting things up! :-)
