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!
