Hi Shao,

May I suggest (if the following is possible)

LABEL install
COM32 nictype.c32
APPEND --other_label

instead of adding a different config file?

Then the other alternative configuration could be included in the 
same config file as a new label (instead of having separated files), 
or each "other_label" could point to a separated config file 
(effectively having the same consequence as your original method).

I am not even sure this is possible, but if it is, I think it would 
give more flexibility.

Best Regards,
Ady.
