      Hello Kai!   
      
   10 May 21 09:00, you wrote to me:

    FS>> (virtual machine in my basement).   
    KR> Virtual? That's easy then, setup a virtual *nix machine, move fidonet

   Yes, that would indeed be a possible solution. Part of the problem, however,   
   is this:   
      
   @echo off   
   for %%I in ("%~dp0\..") do set "base=%%~fI"   
      
   TITLE "BinkD"   
   %base%\binkd\binkd.exe -C %base%\config\binkd.cfg   
      
   REM Don't get me started on PowerShell, got about 4th Dan black belt ;-)   
      
      
      
      
      
    FS>> I could probably try to do an automatic conversion, using a   
    FS>> script, to change the path strings in areas.bbs and areas.gld.   
    KR> The mappath keyword is designed to do that.   
      
   That's what I tried, didn't work. Probably layer 8 problem, then. I'll try to   
   get some verbose logs...   
      
    KR> For the remaining configuration it would be possible to split the   
    KR> config into different segments. Each segment is a small config file.   
    KR> The small segments are loaded with the include keyword. You could have   
    KR> each owns "master" config on the machines e.g.   
      
    KR> # golded.cfg on the mac machine   
    KR> include ~/path.mac   
    KR> include ~/gedcol.cfg   
    KR> include ~/origins.txt   
    KR> include ~/makros.cfg   
    KR> include ~/xlat.cfg   
    KR> include ~/goldhelp.cfg   
    KR> include ~/goldkeys.cfg   
    KR> include ~/goldrand.cfg   
      
    KR> # golded.cfg on windows   
    KR> include c:\path.windows   
    KR> incluee c:\all.those.others   
      
    KR> Or if you prefer the all in one config style then you could use the IF   
    KR> keyword to select for the operation system.   
      
    KR>  IF    
    KR>         ELIF    
    KR>         ELSEIF     (same as ELIF)   
    KR>         ELSE   
    KR>         ENDIF   
      
   Thanks, I'll give this a try!!   
      
   Regards
