Hello Martin!


AA>>> One place where it is available: http://archives.thebbs.org/

Darn.. The program is listed on the page, but the download link fails now.  
I'd swear it was good just a couple weeks ago.

Where did you get your copy?

Yes.. there is that matter.  :(

Meanwhile, I created a little 2min video on what it looks like:

        http://kolico.ca/fidonet/files/sempoint-previ...

I go over the menu and reveal some options and settings.  You will see a  
lot of familiar BBS terms and features that this point program can  
implement.

(It is my very first screen recording, ever, on my XP laptop, and with an  
unfamiliar program, so forgive me if it isn't elegant. The recording has a  
minor video artifact, but it does not obscure anything important.)

It would be very cool to operate Sempoint once again.

I used it during my full fidonode days on an OS/2 system with the Win-OS/2  
support mode.
