    Quick question....

    Is the users.dat file universal between platforms... Can I copy the one from my Pi over to my Win64 mystic??

    Thanx

    Yes, you can copy all your files between various operating systems. They are all compatible with each other. For users.dat you should be able to simply copy it.

    If you are copying other things like the mystic.dat or file/msg base configuration (anything that has a path/directory configured within it), then you need to make sure you remember to change all of those to point to the directories on your Windows system after you copy them.

    This will help me... Because I was having issues... probably all my fault... I have chosen to do a fresh install I have been adding one menu at a time and I'll let Fidonet auto populate... Having my users being able to login with little to no disruption is good.

    Great Job!!
