I've just downloaded it and done a fresh install on my Win98(SE) machine  
and I can confirm that OpenXP now finds all my archivers. In addition, the  
"tick" mark (ASCII-251) is displayed to the right of every archiver that  
OpenXP finds. Excellent! :-)

Now for the bad news .....

If I select "Edit/Servers///Point/", OpenXP  
disappears completely from my screen. In other words, it crashes!

In addition, I have the debug level set to 10 and if I look at  
DEBUGLOG.TXT immediately after the crash, it's 9Mb in size. Here are the  
first few lines .....

The last 2 lines are repeated 126,695 times each!

I've also discovered that the longer I leave OpenXP running, the bigger  
DEBUGLOG.TXT gets. It looks like it's continually checking the mouse  
coordinates and eventually it would probably fill my HDD :-(((

 CB> Hmm, the 3.9 seems to be a bit small?

Yeah, the .EXE file is missing!
