BinkD © Dima Maloff

You will be prompted for the path to BinkD configuration file. Argus doesn't support nested configuration files of BinkD, so if you keep BinkD passwords in a separate file, you should point to it. Argus will parse selected file in search of "NODE" keyword. Also, FTN addresses following "NODE" keyword must be in full 4D/5D notation. If your BinkD configuration file has shortened form of addresses (e.g. for nodes from your own zone/net) Argus would not import them. Argus supports only one pair Address/Password per line when importing BinkP configuration file.

You will be prompted for the path to Bink/+ configuration file. Argus supports nested configuration files of Bink/+, so if you keep Bink/+ passwords in a separate file, you shouldn't point to it unless all addresses are in full 4D/5D notation or this file has ADDRESS keyword. Argus will parse selected file in search of "ADDRESS" (default address for expanding shortened addresses), " INCLUDE" (nested configuration file) and "OVERRIDE" keywords.

You will be prompted for the path to T-Mail configuration file. Argus supports nested configuration files of T-Mail. Note that you should point to T-Mail main configuration file, not to "subst"- or "security-"file. Argus will parse selected file in search of the following keywords: "ADDRESS" (default address for expanding shortened addresses), "INCLUDE" (nested configuration file), "SUBSTLIST" (path to T-Mail file with substitutes; "PASSWORD" keyword will be in search there) and "SECURITY" (path to T-Mail file with passwords).

You will be prompted for the path to Xenia configuration file. Argus supports nested configuration files of Xenia. Argus will parse selected file in search of the following keywords "INCLUDE" (nested configuration file) and "PASSWORD" (password record) keyword. Also, FTN addresses following "PASSWORD" keyword must be in full 4D/5D notation. If your Xenia configuration file has shortened form of addresses (e.g. for nodes from your own zone/net) Argus would not import them. Xenia configuration file may specify several addresses to be bound to a password in a single line, Argus will properly import such entries.
