   I never played with that myself.  But the 5 archivers listed in Extras/    
   Options/Archivers are already integrated into Winpoint. What more do we     
   really need?     
      
   BTW..  I just tried "Add"ing an entry and nothing happened.  :(   
      
   Another one for the CONS column.

   We already covered that in the CONS for Winpoint and a workaround was [*5]     
   in the footnotes.   
      
   Sadly, there is no persistence.

   Line length, as in the number of chars across?  Where?   
      
   Can't we pretty much just resize the window to whatever we want?
