   Hello Karel!

Yes, that's what I also found. So far, so clear.

All other paths in my golded.cfg on my Mac are *nix style paths, e.g.
/Volumes/bbs/msgbase/areas.bbs etc.

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.

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.

Fermin
