I ran across the following on a local Fidonet node and thought
it might be of general interest. -- Steve

Subject: New version of GS-Point released
The new version of GS-Point, v0.61, has finally been released. For those who
don't know, GS-Point is a non-commercial package that allows an Atari ST user
to act as a FidoNet point, and receive and send network mail and echomail.
New features in v0.61 include:
o A completely redesigned user interface. The new full-screen
interface is much more intuitive and easy to use than the old
one.
o GS-Point now knows about zones and can correctly handle messages
coming from and going to other zones.
o Password-protected netmail sessions are now supported for both
WaZOO and "LoTek" sessions.
o GS-Point can now be invoked in a "poll-only" mode from a batch
file or scheduler.
o GEM-based text editors can now be used to edit messages, as well
as TOS-based editors.
GS-Point v0.61 is available for file request and for first time download on
FidoNet node 1:321/112 (BBS phone (413) 253-5518) as GSP-061.ARC or as the
magic filename GSPOINT. File requests are accepted at all times except
between 4am and 6am EDT.

I am interested, and would like to know more. Has anyone who has tried it yet? Is it on one the USENET or BITNET file servers? -- L. J.
