I never played with that myself.  But the 5 archivers listed in Extras/ 
Options/Archivers are already integrated into Winpoint. What more do we  
really need?  <g>

BTW..  I just tried "Add"ing an entry and nothing happened.  :(

Another one for the CONS column.

We already covered that in the CONS for Winpoint and a workaround was [*5]  
in the footnotes.

Sadly, there is no persistence.

Line length, as in the number of chars across?  Where?

Can't we pretty much just resize the window to whatever we want?
