I used it for quite many months. I received wonderful help from this echo
for it. See https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/ and check out the
CONS section for WinPoint. You may encounter those issues later on.

You can find older pkunzip. I have unzip 5.52. But you don't need any
compressor/uncompressor for OXP if you instruct your boss node to send you
uncompressed pkts. Then, you only need to set Edit/Servers/Point/Edit to
the following:
³ Upload packer <>
³ Download unpacker copy $DOWNFILE $PUFFER
Winpoint is truly a complete package with the many archiver/unarchiver
formats integrated in the program.

Note that the editor window can be rescaled and made any size you want.
Winpoint is a fine experience if you like a truly windows gui work
environment.
AB>Trying OpenXP is still a good idea.
AB>What is the editor for OpenXP?
It's built-in. I would not know how to describe "what" the editor is, but
the editing commands borrow from Wordstar and traditional editors.
It took a little getting used to learning some of the editing commands:

during an editing session.
