    It's me again lol.

    I remember back in the day my favourite bbs would have 6 or 9 CDR's loaded
    with shareware in their bbs files area. I've gotten a hold of heaps of them
    and I've now got the room for all of them!

    Only thing is how do you load them up into your files area?

    It's pretty easy the way I did it was create .iso's of them mount the
    images as CD's and then add in the file areas and run mutil with the import files.bbs checked. BUT the CD's are not working SO I just created file directories to match the CD' and again created file area's for each directory and a Group with the title of the CD and ran mutil to import the files.bbs to the BBS. I am sure there is a faster less painful way but that is the only
    way I know.. Easier ways guys?? ;)
