   [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:
