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 <dos/os2/386>
ELIF <dos/os2/386>
ELSEIF <dos/os2/386> (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My docs are outdated, i think UNIX is a valid flag today too.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.
