   Winpoint has many fine qualities.  It was my first go-to point|editor   
   program.  Along the way I learned about 2 other ones that are quite worthy of   
   regular use.   
      
   I produced a summary of PROS and CONS across 3 of the better known point   
   programs, here:   
      
     https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/   
      
   You might find it useful in your journey.   
      
   Martin Foster produced a wonderful Quick-Start Guide for Winpoint.  I know   
   that I would have struggled a bit with configuring Winpoint had it not been   
   for the step-by-step instructions in the guide.
