all fat bastards, all made by you. No other msg has blown this

program. Why not just post a notice saying "I wrote this nifty

program called STRIP.C that plucks chickens, just freq STRIP1.ZIP

from here"? If p_d goes to other boards, why waste bandwidth? For

that matter, why are you wasting my std call time with fat msgs?

Stop posting crappy msgs.



Ppoint was running 15 minutes after I unpacked its zip file. It

only took that long because I knew enough about Bink to want to

check how it was setting up its Bink files.



I defy you to find any other point package that will do the same.



I don't *want* to know about the stupid grotty little nuts and

bolts of pointing. Computers should be able to do it for me. I

shouldn't have to know the details, just as I don't need to know

how zmodem works.

The mailprocessor is built in. We don't have to stuff around with

cryptic squish config files either. Get it yet? This program is

*easy*.
