Since i run WINSnet, and move a lot of mail daily, Id love to help deep test the new version.€€ Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message --------From: Hector Santos Date: 12/31/18 11:09 AM (GMT-06:00) To: list-fidonet@winserver.com, winserver list 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: -
