Hi Bob



 BL> If I promise to try ppoint, will you stop bothering me?



 BG> Keith's a bit like a broken record, isn't he! |-)



 Hey Bill - 4dos has a

Windows command line version now!!



 BL>   I'll get square. When I'm done with him, he'll never recommend

 BL> ppoint again. I'll install it, and give a blow-by-blow description of

 BL> everything that goes wrong (like I did with OS/2), and send him *all*

 BL> my old mail as if it is ppoint's fault. I'll cross-post everyone's

 BL> mail to keith!



 BL> What do I have to download besides ppoint? Binkley, Squish, and

 BL> all sorts of crap, I suppose.



 BG> No, just Ppoint and Binkley, and a nodelist would help

 BG> (optional).



forget the nodelist for now - the instructions are in braille. But

a vanilla ppoint install, with a vanilla bink install in the same

subdir, should work first try. It did for me, and I typically

loathe point software. The unsorted mail gets to be a pain, though,

so you then install Paul Markham's excellent mail sorter (a meg or

two of 386 xms may be needed) in the MAILER.BAT batch file that the

ppoint install generates.



Cheers
