Yep, sure is and I guess the chances of a full English
translation are
pretty slim, as the original author ceased development of
the software in
2007.

Just call me Slim. WinPoint has been revived. WinPoint Echo has been requested and waiting setup. I was able to work with original developer to get it going again.

So stay tuned.

I reached the author several pre-covid months ago. He said

that although he was excited that his program was having
interest and getting use, he nolonger had the original
files
(lost by several moves, or something else).

Code was found and is being updated as we speak. More to come.

Not the email address I was using. I am working the code
now to update it in a number of areas and Tim is also
working behind the scene as well. No ETA at the moment as
we get everything tested and some key changes we knew
folks were asking about (ie fully translated).

I tracked Prof. Dr Tim down at the GMX university.

Anyway, we are moving forward to have some fun.

Will an existing install be able to be overlayed with english
files? I already have a working config of Winpoint.

It should be fun....At least for me. :) I have been going thru the
code learning the package. There is some work to be done before it
can be released since it requires a little cleanup and testing but it
is coming.

Take a peek at the info Martin and I came up with about WinPoint in the "[WinPoint] CONS" section in the comparison table here:

https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/

Click on the "POINT Software comparisons: PROS and CONS" link to get to the table.

Yes, good idea but it should be noted that the list is not a complete
list of things that need fixing. In addition, I feel that certain
parts of the programme need a bit of re-designing.

Martin

We've highlighted a significant number of the most niggly things. For me, "● does not support incoming areafix lists that are in lowercase [*3]" was a disappointment.

Yeah and my biggest niggle by far is the message editor, particularly
its nasty habit of messing up some(but not all) quoted text.

Martin

Look in your inbound :)

Got it. Thank you.

Will add it to the master list. :)

Excellent and I sent you an addition to the list on 03.02.21 by crash netmail. Since then, I've thought of a couple more items that need looking
at but methinks you've got enough to keep you occupied for now :)

Martin
