Hello Kai!
10 May 21 09:00, you wrote to me:

Yes, that would indeed be a possible solution. Part of the problem, however, is this:
<My scripting skills on Windows>
@echo off
for %%I in ("%~dp0\..") do set "base=%%~fI"
TITLE "BinkD"
%base%\binkd\binkd.exe -C %base%\config\binkd.cfg
REM Don't get me started on PowerShell, got about 4th Dan black belt ;-)

That's what I tried, didn't work. Probably layer 8 problem, then. I'll try to get some verbose logs...

KR> The small segments are loaded with the include keyword. You could have

KR> # golded.cfg on the mac machine
KR> include ~/path.mac
KR> include ~/gedcol.cfg
KR> include ~/origins.txt
KR> include ~/makros.cfg
KR> include ~/xlat.cfg
KR> include ~/goldhelp.cfg
KR> include ~/goldkeys.cfg
KR> include ~/goldrand.cfg
KR> # golded.cfg on windows
KR> include c:\path.windows
KR> incluee c:\all.those.others
KR> Or if you prefer the all in one config style then you could use the IF
KR> keyword to select for the operation system.
KR> IF <dos/os2/386>
KR> ELIF <dos/os2/386>
KR> ELSEIF <dos/os2/386> (same as ELIF)
KR> ELSE
KR> ENDIF
Thanks, I'll give this a try!!
