    Let's see if I'm understanding this question correctly -- you want to get
    files that have previously gone out over FSX_MUTIL, but that you didn't end
    up with.

    As far as I understand, there's not a Filefix or network option for that.

    using the filefix command %ALL but how do i import those files to my

    ...since %ALL subscribes to all the available areas, but it doesn't get you
    any back issues.

    Now, you _can_ grab a bunch of files elsewhere from that echo, then get them onto your BBS by running one of the mutil functions (Probably MassUpload or Import_FILES.BBS that come in the mutil.ini file.

    Alternatively, you could've been talking about wanting to get whatever files that have been hatched, and having problems with the new files, and that'd be
    a separate issue.

    So could you describe what your current situation is, and what you'd like to accomplish?
