   Thank you for listing this point packages! It sure will make a great   
   fall-back plan B for me, if my original plan of bringing good-old OS/2   
   Warp 4.5.2 back to life will fail.   
      
   So far I gathered almost all necessary components like binkD for OS/2,   
   FastEcho/2 and FleetStreet for OS/2 (yay! that was the best editor back   
   in the day). I remember that many years ago it wasn't too hard for me to   
   configure all that config files by myself, FE even had a some sort of GUI   
   setup tool. The only thing is that I never used binkD before, as I was   
   using T-Mail and sometimes Argus with dialup modem, but I am sure I will   
   figure it out, may be with some help from the community.   
      
   Best regards,
