[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:

    Some of the plans are:

    

    o Making PX/WIN part of the AUP,

    o Make sure the LFN/SFN is addressed where applicable,

    o Enhancing the PXTOOLS Sysop Editor to better support RFC5322, Mime
    Mail,

    o Extending the concepts of PX/WIN File/Mail Bone for a Wildcat!
    distributed network. i.e. PX/NET.

    

    Thanks for your long time support and have a great new year!
