 AA> https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/files/sempoint.zip

Those links are dead.

Maybe you should have uploaded to YouTube.
 
 AA> Yep. Totally nuts. I encountered the same issue with following a

Is there a QWK and REP file merge tool ?

 AA> Today, I find that even a better solution is to use something like

The OpenXP documentation is in German. Therefore it is totally useless to me.

 AA> Even an NNTP solution and a reader of your choice to match your OS

NNTP is getting too far from BBS's for me.

If I wanted SMTP/POP/NNTP then I would use Linux.
