[quote user="eug4not"]I'm using Pegasus v4.63 and wish to try out v4.70. Is there a way to do this, leaving behind a way to go back to my present v4.63 in case of encountering some intractable problems with 4.70? [/quote]
That depends on the installation. If installed to the default location of C:\PMAIL with programs in C:\PMAIL\PROGRAMS and mailbox directories in C:\PMAIL\MAIL then you have two options.
If you want to test it with you existing configuration then make a copy of the entire C:\PMAIL directory including all subdirectories which you can restore if you don't like v4.70. Install v4.70 over the existing installation. The only caveat is that if you use POP3 and delete mail on the server, mail downloaded into v4.70 will not be available to the restored v4.63 without some effort. If this is the case you might want to make a plan for that before you begin.
Alternatively you can install v4.70 beside v4.63. Install it to a path like C:\PMAIL470 (keep the directory name at 8 characters or less with no spaces). I don't exactly remember the installation routine but I think you can tell it not to create start menu entries or a desktop shortcut so as not to overwrite the ones you have now (I don't know for certain that it would, just a precaution). You would then need to create a shortcut to C:\PMAIL470\PROGRAMS\WINPM-32.EXE. If you use POP3 you might want to configure it to leave mail on the server so that it is available for your v4.63.
If you want to run both instances simultaneously you will need to add the -MS command line option to each shortcut. For details see Help > Command line options.
