What I've done to make things easier is to breakout different sections of the
original "mutil.ini" file into sectons.  One I call nodelist.ini.  In it, you
need to have the location of your different nodelist files defined.  Another
one I broke out, I call mailin.ini. The original mutil.ini has examples that 
you can follow.  You just need to define, for instance, node numbers with local 
file locations.  

As to archiver, the node lists I'm getting are all using the "zip" archiver.
If I remember correctly, you set that option up when applying for a node
number.

Here's a github site (https://github.com/christiansacks/tqw_mutil_inis) where 
Christian Sacks (tqwnet, the quantum wormhole), uploaded a bunch of his *.ini 
files.  That may help you more than slogging through the whole mutil.ini file.

If those files don't help, post again and we'll keep at it!
