Hello Karel!

Nothing, yet. I'll crank up the log level... ;-)

D'OH! Yes, of course. Hmm... so this means I'll probably have to differentiate between two "nodelist" directories. Not a big deal - whenever there's a new nodelist I'll copy it to c:\bbs\nodelist and at the same time to c:\bbs\nodelist\mac. Then just point my Mac's golded.cfg to the ".../mac" subdirectory.
KK> I mean, without compilation there is/was still old path...
Yup, makes total sense. Thanks!

I can't imagine using Windows as a client for work, I'm strictly on a Mac for that. When it comes to servers, though, more on the Windows side and also cloud. And my automation Kung Fu is quite firmly based on Windows, either good old DOS batch and very much in PowerShell. But who knows... ;-)
