Hi Eddy,

You wrote to All on 27.11.02 about "windows fido point software":

Best to check in the POINTS echo to see what folks recommend  
Eddy.

If Squish is *needed*, that will tend to limit the choices  
available.  Hudson ? - not really recommended.
Which suggests your choices could be from:

PPoint - in one of its combinations. (uses Binkley etc. as its  
Mailer function),

APoint - which provides JAM, MSG or its own proprietory message  
base.  Has "normal" Fidonet Point facilities - and can be used  
for e-mail and NGs via an ISP.  Mailer built-in, to which BINKD  
can be fitted relatively painlessly.

ET> I've already a mailer for him, that's binkd for transport via
ET> internet.

ET> Suggestions? Does he need more?

Depends a lot on both his knowledge and capabilities, plus your  
know-how.  So, as I wrote above - hook into the POINTS echo and  
ask about it Eddy.
I'm sorta "prejudiced" <G>, but if the prospective Point is truly  
a newby - I daren't recommend the item I'm using.

TTFN,

Archie
