Hello Fermin!

Virtual? That's easy then, setup a virtual *nix machine, move fidonet from
windows to that and you have identical path names on your fido system and your
mac. ;-)

The mappath keyword is designed to do that.

For the remaining configuration it would be possible to split the config into
different segments. Each segment is a small config file. The small segments
are loaded with the include keyword. You could have each owns "master" config
on the machines e.g.

# golded.cfg on the mac machine
include ~/path.mac
include ~/gedcol.cfg
include ~/origins.txt
include ~/makros.cfg
include ~/xlat.cfg
include ~/goldhelp.cfg
include ~/goldkeys.cfg
include ~/goldrand.cfg

# golded.cfg on windows
include c:\path.windows
incluee c:\all.those.others

Or if you prefer the all in one config style then you could use the IF keyword
to select for the operation system.

 IF 
        ELIF 
        ELSEIF     (same as ELIF)
        ELSE
        ENDIF

My docs are outdated, i think UNIX is a valid flag today too. Search the
golded reference docs for "if os2" to find the latest options and further
examples.

Regards

Kai
