   Hello Karel!

09 May 21 18:50, you wrote to me:

Yup, it's Unix, basically.

The problem is that my Fido system runs on a Windows server (virtual machine
in my basement). So all the definitions/paths, also what gets automatically
generated (e.g. areas.bbs and areas.gld) contains c:\bbs\... style paths. I't
only the GoldEd that I would like to have running on my Mac.

I could probably try to do an automatic conversion, using a script, to change
the path strings in areas.bbs and areas.gld. Had just hoped that the Path
mapping keyword in golded.cfg was an easy, elegant solution to get around
having to develop something myself. Oh well..

Regards
Fermin
