Hello Marceline!

 AA>> https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/files/sempoint.avi  ,or

 MJ> Those links are dead.

Oops.  I must have moved them in the last minute.

They are here now.

 MJ> Maybe you should have uploaded to YouTube.

Meh. Nah.


 MJ> Is there a QWK and REP file merge tool ?

I have no idea.

 AA>> Today, I find that even a better solution is to use
 AA>> something like OpenXP.  See screenshots here:

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

If you just rely on getting the program from sourceforge, then  
yes, the English helps seems to be missing. :(  I had some  
guidance when I got started with Openxp by a fellow who wrote an  
English "Startup User Guide".

If you visit https://openxp.uk/doc/  ..look for oxpguide.pdf

Just follow the steps in there for 1st-time use. Both linux and  
windows instructions are included.


 AA>> Even an NNTP solution and a reader of your choice to match
 AA>> your OS platform is  a good option.

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

Hmmm.  Wrt olr messaging, I see nntp as fine improvement when a  
BBS offers it.

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

BTW..  OpenXP supports those things too, but you don't have to  
use that part.
