+By default, the above directories are sub-directories of your main Synchronet installation directory (e.g. ''c:\sbbs'' on Windows or ''~/sbbs'' or ''/sbbs'' on *nix). By default, lower-case short directory names are used. For example:
+  /sbbs/ctrl/
+     ../data/
+     ../exec/
+     ../mods/
+     ../node1/
+     ../node2/
+     ../node3/
+     ../node4/
+     ../text/
+     ../web/
+     ../webv4/
+     ../xtrn/
+However, the sysop has the option of changing the location of these directories through configuration settings in [[util:SCFG]] and ''[[config:sbbs.ini]]''. If the location of these directories is changed for some reason, the sysop should also make sure that their system [[config:env|environment variables]] match the new directory locations.
+**Note:**\\
+If 16-bit DOS programs are to be utilized in the BBS (e.g. as archive/compression programs, door games, protocol drivers, etc.), you may run into troubles if you choose to use non-DOS compatible directory names (e.g. names longer than 8 characters or containing invalid DOS filename characters).
