Hi Shurato,

you're right - for a sysop who already runs a mailer and a BBS,
binkpoint adds nothing. Mystic, binkd, BinkIT and friends all
handle points just fine.

binkpoint is aimed at a different user: someone who just wants to
be a point and read/write echomail on Windows, without setting up
a mailer, a tosser and a separate reader first. It is mailer,
tosser and reader in one program, with full ANSI display. Enter
your point address, password and boss node, and you're online.

Think of it as an easy entry for newcomers rather than a
replacement for existing tools.

Michael
