Damn, you're right. I've GOT to stop thinking about Binkley! :-)

The docs say (as I'm sure you know):
    Each node on a multinode system must have a separate events
    file. However, all of the event files use the same format, so
    you can simply copy a master events file to events01.bbs,
    events02.bbs, and so on. (If Maximus cannot find the event
    file for a specific node, it will try to read default event
    information from events00.bbs, regardless of the node number
    of the current session.)

So without having tried it, it should work with just one events00.bbs
file. However, have you tried just copying that file to 01, 02, etc?

It's also worth reminding you that Max must NOT be running when you
change the events*.bbs files.

Good luck!


Cheers... Dallas
