   To implement familiar BBS terms and features in OpenXP, would probably     
   mean a complete re-write owing to the original design of CrossPoint.

   When your video first started, I thought I was looking at APoint     
   (remember that?) but then I realised I wasn't when I saw the icons     
   across the top :)   
      
   Nice job though and it certainly gives a feel for the programme.

   As it would APoint but I binned my copy many years ago :(

   Ahhhhhhh, yes, good old OS/2. It was my OS of choice "back in the     
   day". Pity that ArcaOS isn't ready for prime time yet.
