   I contacted him quite some time ago to enquire about the status of     
   WinPoint and, in a nutshell, he's abandoned it. His reasons were that     
   he neither had the time nor the inclination to configure a new build     
   environment on Win10. Fair enough, it's his "ball game".   
      
   I was going to follow up his reply by asking him if he would be     
   prepared to release the source under some sort of public licence but,     
   for some reason that eludes me, I never did. However, I do know that     
   it's written in Delphi and that some third-party libraries are     
   required which may/may not be still available.   
      
   The source wouldn't be of any use to me, apart from possibly finishing     
   the English translation.   
      
   Perhaps someone might care to contact him with a view to either re-    
   commencing development or releasing the source ;-)   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
