   I always send mail packets(*.pkt) uncompressed because, where WinPoint     
   is concerned, I don't have any of the pre-defined archivers on my     
   system. That's how I found the bug because when I first started using     
   WinPoint, I tried to add an archiver(ZIP) to the list and discovered     
   that clicking the "Add" button did absolutely nothing.

   No, I haven't fully investigated that feature yet.   
      
   What I meant was that I have three Fido BossNodes configured and I'm     
   linked into the same echos on all three. You may think I'm a complete     
   nutter but there *is* a valid reason for this.   
      
   Sorry for mentioning OpenXP in this thread but OpenXP has no problems     
   whatsover with this arrangement but WinPoint doesn't semm to be able     
   to cope with it at all.

   I'm not on any "OtherNets" these days.

   You should be able to change it in "Extras/Options/Uplinks". In the     
   "Fidostyle Uplinks" pane click the "Properties" button and then click     
   the "Mailersitzung" Tab. Look at the "Adresse" field but I haven't     
   actually tried it.   
      
    AA> But, maybe you can work with multiple Winpoint installations - one for

   Like I said, I'm not on any "OtherNets" these days but I doubt very     
   much if you could have more than one WinPoint installation because it     
   stores its configuration data in the registry.   
      
   It would be interesting to see if a combination of a Fido Point and an     
   "OtherNet" Point actually works but I can't try that. Perhaps someone     
   else could try it? ;-)
