   [WINServer] Platinum Xpress    
      
       Hi Folks,     
      
          
      
       With the new 2019 year coming, there are an old 1990s things I   
       decided to resurrect -- Platinum Xpress!!     
      
          
      
       PX/WIN was updated and what this means so far at this point is;    
       PX/WIN was compiled using the latest wcSDK headers  and a new setup   
       utility (INNO) was used with offers 32/64bit support. This means the   
       new PX/WIN 7.0 setup/CD will work on modern OSes, unlike the PX/WIN   
       2.0 Setup/CD which only worked on 32 bit machines.   We never did   
       have a PX/WIN 3.0 Setup/CD.  You first installed 2.0 via the CD and   
       then upgraded to 3.0 using the BBS online product update patches and   
       zip files.   
      
          
      
       We are giving this new PX/WIN a version 7.0 build 454.6 to make it   
       align with Wildcat!.   If you are interested in refreshing your   
       PX/WIN installation and given it a whirl,  please contact me off   
       list.      
      
          
      
       No deep testing has been done.  Nothing "Fido" related has been   
       tested, i.e. imports/exports, attachments, etc.   I am using,   
       testing and playing with PXTOOLS Sysop Editor now that I have PX/WIN   
       v7.0 installed on my 64 bit Windows 7 home machine.   It all seems   
       to work but I am only using PXTOOLS Sysop Editor, testing email and   
       sending/receiving LONG FILE NAME (LFN) attachments.    Overall, LFN   
       vs SFN related stuff needs to be tested and reviewed since LFN/SFN   
       is really the only difference between the older WCSDK headers used   
       for PX/WIN 4.0 and the current WCSDK headers used for PX/WIN 7.0.   
      
          
      
       I should note that the following:   
      
          
      
       o Still has the old *.HLP (help) files.  I can't find the help   
       source files to recompile as *.CHM help files.  Maybe there is a    
       HLP file decompiler like there is for CHM files.   
      
          
      
       o The same exact PX/WIN 2.0 CD installed fidonet related files were   
       used for installation, that means the old mail/file echo, backhone   
       files were provided.  The installation will not overwrite any   
       existing subfolder files if you upgrade on top of your current PXW   
       folder.  In fact, the following are the files that are part of the   
       new setup/installation:
