   Sounds like you have many options.  If you have a full backup of your A46 BBS   
   then the easiest thing to do would be to restore the A46 backup and then   
   upgrade it to A47.   
      
   If you want to start fresh with the latest A47 but keep your A46 users then   
   copy "users.dat" from the A46 data folder to A47 data folder.  As long as you   
   are using A46 final release, you can copy the users.dat file directly into A47   
   as the data format has not changed between the versions.   
      
    RF> 2nd question I used Mutl Nodelist.ini (where it tells to merge my fido   
    RF> and fsxnet list.  No errors and I'm sure it processed correctly.  But   
    RF> when I go to Message Menu, select B for browse nodelist and search for   
    RF> 1:124/5014 or any node number I get nothing.  I press ? to get example   
    RF> of how to search and nothing comes up.  So I don't know what is wrong   
      
   Mystic expects your Nodelist to be called nodelist.txt in the data folder.  It   
   does not require any compliation, Mystic parses raw nodelists directly in   
   real-time.  If you don't have a nodelist.txt in your DATA folder then the   
   search option will not work.
