Ok.  So I assume you have the message areas working the way you want.

 GKA> All my directories and paths in linux is in lovercase.

Ok.  Just be consistant in all the control files.  The original examples used a
mixed case in a case insensitive enviornment -- and not all the control files
were consistent....  Sounds like you have this issue handled.

 GKA> By getting maximus to show and use oldfiles and new 
 GKA> files is just how to do it, it can maybe in some doc 
 GKA> and manual for maximus.

The easiest way will be to have seperate file areas for the old and new file
locations.  Each directory would contain it's own files.bbs file for maximus to
use.

The other method I need to look up.  From memory, the other option would allow
one directory to be the main directory for the file area.  File in any other
directory then need the full path specified in the files.bbs.  There may be an
option in a control file that needs to be turned on to make this work.

Do you have atleast one file area show files from one directory working?
