   It's listed on the "Not On The Filegate/No Longer Distributed"     
   section, so I suppose that's the end of that.

   Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I've never adopted it as my first     
   choice Point software.   
      
   Do you have any thoughts on an alternative to WinPoint?   
      
   I can recommend OpenXP :-))   
   Versions available for Windows and Linux from https://openxp.uk   
   Source is also available.   
      
   If you do decide to have a look, I would *STRONGLY* advise you to grab     
   a copy of "oxpguide.pdf" and read sections 1 and 2 before proceeding     
   with the installation and configuration.   
      
   Regards,
