   Maybe you caught the site just before the problem started.   
   The page loads, but the link for any of the files now fails completely.   
      
   I think I saw it on one of the pages at filegate.net, but the search     
   doesn't seem to list it anymore.   
      
   I still have two "original" archive copies.  There is a later one that has     
   four extra files - sample screenshots of:   
      
   01 Read_QWK_Packet (MARKANT.QWK).gif   
   02 Create New MSGs or Reply on Existing.GIF   
   03 Crating MSGs with Alias (Annonymous) Name.GIF   
   04 EXPORT_New_Mesages_in_Packet(MARKANT.REP).GIF   
      
   ..do you have that one?

   Thanks.  I remember using APoint for a little while, but I don't remember     
   what it looked like.  I kinda wish there was a way to see it in operation,     
   again.  I do however remember that it wasn't cooperating very well in     
   windows mode on a fine OS/2 Warp 3 pc.   
      
   Often when a program is announced, it would be nice to see decent     
   screenshots or a video to get an idea of what to expect.

   MF> Ahhhhhhh, yes, good old OS/2. It was my OS of choice "back in the

   The Win-OS/2 support was amazing. It was a great way to intermix the best     
   of DOS, Win and OS/2 into one seemless family.   
      
   I still have the apparently "crashed" hdd.  The hope is to recover some of     
   the files off of it.
