Those files can be written by 2 of the modules when auto export is executed. FConfig (which only exists as a Windows program), and 'FTools addnew -A'. I don't use the latter, but I think you might?

How is that path in your configuration? As a linux or as a windows version?

What I do, is have all my paths in windows form, and use the FMAIL_REPLACE_DRIVE environment variable for the linux modules. And I have a little python script that converts the windows paths in areas.gld to linux paths...


Bye, Wilfred.
