Yeah... I remember when you used to post the entire QWK Product List here 
in segments. Of course it was more active then.

Hmm. I think this list (which grew out of the QWK Product List) attempts to
be fairly complete as far as traditional BBS offline readers, while point
readers are a whole other category which I don't think it has been the
mission of the list to document. (Or am I wrong?) There aren't many entries
without at least a "Q". Where there are, at least one of them -- "MR/2
ICE", which is listed as "MP" -- is an outgrowth of a reader that _used_ to
support QWK. As for the others, I dunno -- why ARE there entries with just 
"MP"? That's effectively a whole other category of software, much broader 
now than QWK and other BBS formats were.

As for Point software, is there an authoritative list for that elsewhere? 
Because I don't think this is really it... and I'm not sure it should try 
to be.

.... Life is much easier if you look at the source code.
