  • POINTSOFT FDN

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757.2 to All on Wed Jan 6 01:30:11 2021
    I have created a new POINTSOFT FDN for FTN Point software. So far there is just one area for OpenXP files. I will be keeping an eye out for others developing point software and will add more areas in the future if there are other developers developing point software if they would like their software hatched also.

    Here is a snip with the new FDN info from the new filegate.zxx..

    % FDN: POINTSOFT FDN

    There was just a new version released a few days ago so I will be hatching those files out. I will wait for 10 days or so for hubs and nodes to get connected.

    If you would like to receive those files please connect the OPENXP file area at your hub. If you don't already have a file link you are welcome to connect to my node, send me a netmail or email me at agianson[at]gmail[dot]com. Netmail will get a quicker response most times.

    Hi Alan!

    developing
    point software and will add more areas in the future if there are other
    developers developing point software if they would like their software hatched
    also.

    Thank you for posting this information here Alan! I normally post that kind of info in here, but it was a family member's birthday and I was kind of busy making the cake, etc. <grin>

    Thanks again for starting this FDN :)

    Take care,
    Janis

    Thanks Alan for all your work. And Janis too, of course :)

    I confirm that this area has been self-created in my system.

    Un saludo,

    No worries.. :)

    I confirm that this area has been self-created in my system.

    That is good to hear. I didn't mean for that file to go out as quickly as it did. That is OK though and I am glad the area auto created for you.

    I did hatch that file from my point but I expected it to toss bad, but it tossed fine, that's good but it surprised me!

    There are two or three more OpenXP files, I'll hatch them in 10 days or so. I'm just hoping to avoid any surprises along the way since the area doesn't yet exist on most nodes.
