ZC> James Coyle is a phenomenon in itself. He designed, developed and
ZC> tested on his own that other piece of very popular software called

ZC> I don't know how many in other domains.
ZC> Tim Schattkowsky is a long-time Fidonet participant who at some time
ZC> "took a vacation" but rejoined a while ago and is very well known for
ZC> his WinPoint software which is a mainstay for points all over Fidonet
