   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?   
      
      
   MF> I found a spare moment to have a look but I've crossed it of my list   
   MF> because, after executing 'setup.exe', I discovered it was 16-Bit and   
   MF> my 64-Bit Windows won't run it(obviously) and I no longer have a   
   MF> version of Windows that will :((   
      
   Yes.. there is that matter.  :(   
      
   Meanwhile, I created a little 2min video on what it looks like:   
      
           http://kolico.ca/fidonet/files/sempoint-preview.zip   
      
   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.
