Dear Members,

  PointCast is the Internet news network that appears instantly on your
computer screen. Now you need not surf the net for the news  and information
important to you and your organisation.  C/NET honoured the PointCast Network
with the  "Best Internet Application"  award.

 PointCast broadcasts  national and international  news, stock
information,industry updates, weather ...etc., the PointCast Network is
completely FREE. No  subscriptions. No purchase  price.  PointCast is
completely customizable. e.g. If you are in a Software Industry you can
customise this to get only software  Industry News.  It's the current stuff.

  Version 2 of PointCast ( Beta version)  for Win95/NT is available to Download
at  http://www.pointcast.com.sers/jordan/myths/./JEmenu.htmG/
       To install and  use you  should have a PC connected to INTERNET (direct
connection for better results) with
       10 MB disc space free.

 We  have installed and using the PointCast  in our Library & Information
Centre  and it is working fine. It is quite
        useful to provide services like CAS ( Current Awareness Service).
