The old (v3.19) *.cnf files are still there. Nothing was "destroyed". If you ran v3.20 withOUT running 'jsexec update' first (e.g. as an accident), you could have stock/new install .ini files ni your ctrl directory. In that case, running 'jsexec upgrade_to_v320' would fix that situation.

"error finding sbbs.ini" doesn't sound like an upgrade issue. That sounds like your SBBSCTRL environment variable isn't set correctly.
