      Hello Karel!   
      
   09 May 21 20:09, you wrote to me:

   Yes, that's what I also found. So far, so clear.   
      
    KK> So i understand that is mainly/only for areas. (no other keywords).   
      
   All other paths in my golded.cfg on my Mac are *nix style paths, e.g.   
   /Volumes/bbs/msgbase/areas.bbs etc.   
      
    KK> In your case, everything in golded.cfg should be in MAC format, and

    KK> E.g. you need only that one:   
    KK> MAPPATH C:\BBS\msgbase\ /Volumes/bbs/msgbase/   
      
   Doesn't seem to do anything, unfortunately :-( I will probably automate a   
   script that creates a copy of "areas.bbs" using *nix style paths, then   
   reference that file when connecting from my Mac. A first try with a manually   
   copied/changed areas.bbs looks promising.   
      
    KK> The rest of golded.cfg - MAC format to be used... including path to   
    KK> areas.bbs file.   
      
   Yup, that's what the rest looks like. So far, so good. However, the first time   
   I open "Netmail", I get this:   
   *****   
   Nodelist missing: c:\bbs\nodelist\NODELIST.127   
   *****   
      
   And yes, that's the path of my nodelist on my Windows node system. However, my   
   local golded.cfg on my Mac has this to say about the nodelist:   
   *****   
   #Nodelist   
   NODEPATH /Volumes/bbs/nodelist   
   NODELIST nodelist.999   
   *****   
      
   This really had me scratching my head, because I couldn't figure out where   
   that was coming from. I then compiled the nodelist (./goldnode -C). So far, so   
   good. Still no clue how the "C:\bbs...." path could have been known to GoldEd.   
      
      
   Regards   
   Fermin
