   None of the files which were overwritten were config files or database     
   files or messagebase files, etc, etc.

   The copy of glossary.cfg which was overwitten was the one in the     
   "samples" directory, it was not the copy in your main OpenXP     
   directory.   
      
    AA> Meanwhile, I think xpoint.cfg is overwritten,   
      
   Nope, that's impossible, as there isn't a xpoint.cfg in the ZIP     
   package.   
      
    AA> but I don't recognize any major difference from the previous one   
    AA> you sent me with your colourizations.   
      
   The custom colour config is contained in xpoint.col :)   
      
   I feel sure everything went well so don't worry about it :-)   
      
   Regards,
