<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Friend, <BR><BR>You once registered to use our PointCast 
Network as your online news <BR>source. We would like to thank you for having 
used our service and <BR>for helping us change how the world gets information. 
<BR><BR>We contacted you a while back to tell you about our all new product - 
<BR>EntryPoint 1.0. Since that time, we have significantly improved the 
<BR>EntryPoint product with PointCast users in mind. We believe that the 
<BR>totally upgraded EntryPoint 2.0 represents such a vast improvement <BR>over 
PointCast that within the next few weeks, we will stop all <BR>broadcasting over 
the PointCast Network in favor of the new product. <BR><BR>Over the years, we 
received lots of valuable feedback from our users. <BR>Many of you requested: 
<BR><BR>&#8226; Improved service reliability, and <BR>&#8226; Reduced file size 
<BR><BR>Additionally, users told us that they most valued PointCast's great 
<BR>features like: <BR><BR>&#8226; Personalized stock portfolio <BR>&#8226; A screen saver 
with stock ticker <BR>&#8226; News content from trusted sources like the Wall Street 
Journal, <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;the New York Times, CNN and more. <BR><BR>So as you say

of the best of PointCast as well as <BR>suggestions from our user base. 
<BR><BR>We invite you to download EntryPoint for FREE and to enjoy it. <BR><A

sports, music <BR>and customized news from top sources like the Wall Street 
Journal, <BR>the New York Times, CNN, E! Entertainment News and Reuters. 
<BR><BR>Personalized Alerts <BR><BR>Instead of checking and rechecking your

Yours, <BR><BR>The PointCast/EntryPoint Team <BR><BR>EntryPoint is currently 
only available to PC users. <BR><BR>In transitioning from PointCast to 
EntryPoint, limited features and <BR>content were discontinued. Although the 
PointCast service will <BR>continue to run through March, live technical support 
for PointCast <BR>ceased as of February 24, 2000. After this point, tech support 
for <BR>PointCast will be limited to Web self-help through our FAQs. Once 
<BR>again, we encourage you to download EntryPoint 2.0, which features <BR>both 
web-based and live technical support. For more information, <BR>please visit our 
PointCast information page. <BR><A

Though ment in a good way, this would be a hoax.

In the Downloader there is the Test Tool and running the Tester on the files..........
will be sufficiant enough to find out if the Data files
-or are in order
-or need fixing
-or are corrupt!!!!!
