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: - 2018/12/30 19:49:52 | 103936 | default\abookapi.dll - 2018/12/30 21:28:01 | 3702 | default\areafix.txt - 1991/05/30 08:37:52 | 99940 | default\arj.exe -
