   The current incarnation of OpenXP(5.0.xx) is based on the long since     
   defunct OpenXP 4.x.xxxx which, in turn, was based on CrossPoint 3.2   
      
   Following portion of text translated from this original document:   
   https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrossPoint   
      
   "CrossPoint v1.0 was released in 1992 as shareware for the DOS operating     
   system. It was a pure point program for Z-Netz and its data exchange     
   protocol Netcall. Version 2.0 appeared at the end of 1992, which also     
   supported FidoNet, MausNet, MagicNet, QuickMail and the data format of the     
   new Z-Netz protocol ZConnect."   
      
   Hardly an afterthought, more of a development of the software, IMO.
