====== Pack and check integrity of file base listings ====== 

The '[PackFileBases]' stanza instructs MUTIL to examine the contents of all defined file bases created in a Mystic BBS system.

To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:


  [general]
  
  PackFileBases      = true

The stanza contains a couple of Boolean switches that can be enabled or disabled.

  [PackFileBases]
    
  ; If true, MUTIL will check to make sure files exist, and will update their
  ; file size in the listing, optionally removing missing files (remove_missing)
  
  check_files = true
  
  ; If true, MUTIL will remove any files which do not exist from the file
  ; list database while checking integrity.  Otherwise they will be flagged as
  ; OFFLINE in the file listing.  0 byte files are considered "missing"
  
  remove_missing = false

The use of this stanza is recommended as part of a nightly or weekly maintenance process that can be set up and and run by the Mystic BBS Event Editor.
