#If your "Cumulus.ini" was actually called "cumulus.ini" you should rename it to start with a capital letter.

There are several other differences, but you can address those later through the MX settings screens. | #If your "Cumulus.ini" was actually called "cumulus.ini" you should rename it to start with a capital letter.
