   In a message dated 08-31-15, Paul Quinn said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Hi Paul,   
      
    HG> Good afternoon Paul,   
      
   PQ> Thank you.  It's another gorgeous day in the sunshine state.  Very   
   PQ> much like a cool summer's day even though we're just near the end of   
   PQ> winter.   
      
   Here it's the first completely overcast day in a month. Of course we've   
   had clouds passing over but not like to today. The fall has entered :o(   
      
    HG> Yes, it seems to be quite versatile but I don't know if it existed   
    HG> when I needed a point program for my office machine with WFWG 3.11   
    HG> system.   
      
   PQ> I can't recall when I started using SemPoint, though the archive in   
   PQ> my filebase is dated October 2002 which might be a clue as to when I   
   PQ> downloaded it.  I've been using it & other sysop readers, and NNTP,   
   PQ> since then.  As you can see herewith, it's still doing sterling   
   PQ> service.  It's a 16-bit Windows application and would have run   
   PQ> nicely in WFWG, I'm sure.   
      
   The version I have in my file repository is v2.25a dated in 1997.   
   The license.txt contains:   
      
   "Unregistered use of SemPoint after the 30-day evaluation period is in   
   violation of Italian and international copyright laws."   
      
   Also the price to register it is mentioned as USD 33. Both the short   
   evaluation period and the price would have made me loose interest in   
   it, even if it would have been available when I needed a point program   
   for WFWG.   
      
   The FrontDoor APX was known to me when I needed a point pgm but reading   
   the file_id.diz file tells me that SemPoint is a very versatile pgm.   
      
   Have a nice spring,
