      Hello everybody!   
      
   I have resurrected my Fidonet node, so far, so good. And while everything   
   seems to be running fine on a Windows based server, including GoldEd+, I   
   wanted to run the editor natively on my Mac. I'm running the latest "Big Sur"   
   version.   
      
   Now for the tricky part - not sure if that's actually possible. I have, for   
   example, an areas.bbs that gets automatically generated by FMail. It looks   
   like this:

   My functioning GoldEd.cfg on my Windows server has various entries that use   
   the typical Windows paths, for example:   
   ******   
   #Area definitions   
   AREADEF Netmail "NETMAIL" 0 Net OPUS C:\BBS\netmail   
   AREAFILE AreasBBS c:\bbs\msgbase\areas.bbs   
   ******   
      
   I therefore tried using "MAPPATH" on my Macs golded.cfg to rewrite whatever   
   c:\.... to /Volumes/bbs/....:

   Nope, doesn't seem to work. GoldEd creates the JAM database files including   
   their paths on my Mac:

   Is what I'm trying to do even possible? The server would remain on Windows,   
   including a local copy of GoldEd if needed. But I'd like to be able to   
   remotely access the system using a native version of GoldEd on my Mac.   
      
   Regards
