Hello Robert.

Not 100% sure... It's been a pretty long time since I ran it. Version 1.00 was 
JAM and Hudson only, but I think there was a newer version released later that 
also supported Squish. (Maybe v1.30?) Bob Seaborn would know better than me.

At any rate, GEcho will work with Sempoint, because Sempoint also supports JAM, 
and Gecho at the very least can export an AREAS.BBS file which Sempoint can 
read, the same as it can a SQUISH.CFG file.

It's an old program (my version is from 1996), but it's been around for a long 
time because it's a well-written program, that's proven reliable and able to 
handle almost anything you can throw at it. Lots of the older programs have 
trouble with 400+ MHz machines. If it was written in Turbo Pascal, there's a 
patch available.
