See contact details at: > >https://www.forteinc.com/apn/support.php Thanks for the reminder - my payment was 10+ years ago and they've had nothing from me since. I've also heard that Agent was 'abandonware' which wouldn't surprise me given how many servers have abandoned Usenet as a whole. You probably have forgotten the line from Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" (which says a lot to me about Usenet which is a long way towards "gone" alas) which goes "Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot" Right now my big push is for a solution to a freeware Sudoku puzzle program that these days wants to start up off-screen. (But when I look at Task Manager it's there) A solution for me would be to have the icon on the main screen (I have two monitors) but the solutions suggested here previously didn't work. (Am running Win 11 and didn't have that problem until a recent OS 'upgrade' ..choke choke)
