    WinPoint development has now re-started and from what I've read
    elsewhere, top priority is to complete the English translation.

    That's great news. Let us know if there are new versions available and where to get them.

    No new version yet but there have been three public BETA TEST versions released in the last nine days, which comprise the WinPoint executable *only*.

    Yes, I've seen those. I've added a WINPOINT file area to the filegate and hatched wp2005b5.zip (just so folks have it if they need it) and also wp_373.zip and we'll keep those up to date as Tim wishes.

    I have two points here running WinPoint, one for some time and another just doing the setup so I hope he'll have it running smoothly before too long.

    Thank you very much for that.

    That *is* good news, excellent! :-)

    Hello Martin,

    Thank you very much for that.

    No worries.

    I also have your winpoint_guide.pdf in my collection of stuff around here. That would also make a good file to have when folks are getting setup. With your permission I would hatch that file also. What do you think?

    Please feel free but you have to bear in mind that depending on what English documentation(if any) is included in the next full WinPoint release will dictate whether I update the guide or just file it away for posterity. Already, some of the stuff in the guide is no longer valid, as it relates to v359.1 only.
