None of the files which were overwritten were config files or database  
files or messagebase files, etc, etc.

The copy of glossary.cfg which was overwitten was the one in the  
"samples" directory, it was not the copy in your main OpenXP  
directory.

 AA> Meanwhile, I think xpoint.cfg is overwritten,

Nope, that's impossible, as there isn't a xpoint.cfg in the ZIP  
package.

The custom colour config is contained in xpoint.col :)

I feel sure everything went well so don't worry about it :-)

Regards,
Martin
