Here is the source code for Point which I have put in the public domain.
If you have any problems with it you can email me at [email protected].
Or you can call me at 505-277-5446.

This is an enhanced version of the Point that was distributed by Logitech.
It has several new features included keyword and XTAG searches (that are
very handy) and, maybe more important, I found (and fixed) a serious bug
that was in Point for several years and caused it to crash especially
when a lot of files were opened and closed.

* The makefiles are in an old Pnoenix make format. They should be easy to
change to another form. There is one for an optimized version and one for
a debuggin version. makefile is a copy of one of these two.

* Point expects indexed help files. The program indexhlp.c does that.
It creates pt.hlp from ptraw.hlp

* I have included several initialization files (.ini files).

* The manuals are in TeX format. ptman.tex is the reference manual and
ptuser.tex is the user manual. I ahve included Postscript versions
of both.

* ptoverlay.tex describes the overlay feature. It was not really stable
and the code has all been ifdef'ed out.

I would appreciate hearing about any bugs you find or changes you make.
