   I know what you mean by the "Win 95'ish" GUI.  But the "look" is primarily   
   established by the icons in the toolbar/speedbar.  It is very much like   
   Apoint's GUI, IMHO.   
      
   And.. you can change the fonts from the defaults.   
      
   Sempoint has a closer relationship to Apoint's features.  For one example,   
   Sempoint's "Speed bar" is Apoint's "Toolbar".  A neat thing with Sempoint's   
   version is that you can move it to the side or to the bottom.   
      
   Take your time.  There are a *lot* adjustments you can make in the top   
   Configuration menu.  And.. I think you will be impressed with the fairly   
   complete context-sensitive help. The Help is totally searchable too.
