    Ahhh.. <g> This is where an echomail archive would come in handy for ya!

    I *did* play with it for a little while back and received some excellent
    help from Martin Foster. If you can, request a rescan of this echo and go back as far as you can to at least January 2019. Then look for the
    subject lines that contain "winpoint:". That is a good start.

    chart:

    Not quite sure what you mean by that but if you're referring to the
    purpose of WinPoint's "FileBase" directory, then the answer to your
    question is yes :)

    Would you happen to have a document on that.

    Sorry but no.

    It appears to be the only one missing from your document.

    The document is very much a work in progress.

    Regards,
    Martin
