    AA> fidonet/echos/points/ ..a bit obsolete!   :D   
      
   Once there's a *FULL* new release, yes it will.    
      
   Please bear in mind, that at the moment, Tim is releasing BETA TEST   
   *executables* ONLY.   
      
    AA> What is the best way to proceed with an updated install?   
      
   [1] Backup(export) the following registry key .....   
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\New.Vision.Software\WinPoint   
      
   [2] Backup everything in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\WinPoint   
      
   [3] Download this: http:\\winpoint\org\wp_v375.zip   
      
   [4] Extract the executable and copy it into the same directory as your   
   existing WinPoint(359.1) executable.   
      
   [5] Create a shortcut to the new executable and away ya go :)   
      
    AA> Will the existing config values (areas, passwords, etc..) carry over?   
      
   Yes, or at least, mine did.   
      
   NOTES:   
   "Extras -> Options" has been moved to "File -> Options". In fact, the "Extras"   
   menu no longer exists.   
      
   Regards,
