SemPoint v2.21 for Windows
==========================
Thank you for trying SemPoint!

SemPoint is a truly powerful and multifunctional OffLine Reader (OLR).
It is useful to BBS Sysops and Points in FidoNet technology, because it 
can handle message bases in Fido (*.MSG), Squish, JAM, Hudson and Ezy 
formats.
It is useful to BBS users also, because it can read (and write) mail packets
in the popular QWK and BlueWave formats, storing them in a permanent
message base on your hard disk (see online help for details).
Plus, if you can download USENET Newsgroups as a plain text file from your
Internet provider, then you'll be able to "import" Newsgroups' messages in a
permanent message base and to read them easily with SemPoint.

- a 286-based PC or more
- 2 megabytes of free hard disk space
- VGA or S-VGA graphics card
