That is strange. It appears someone else is hatching files in the WINPOINT area with a different filename.

The Winpoint program has been called a public beta ever since I came across it somewhere around 2005 but the software is fairly mature at this point.
The Public Beta seems to be missing from the latest versions description so I think that has been dropped now.

That doesn't happen in the WINPOINT area. I think I have hatched three files in that area. The last two were a day apart because there were important changes.
