Subject: [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!
