I have been pretty happy with my 15 year old copy of Agent. It is not
really dependent on the OS, it is not "installed", it is just an EXE.
I am not even sure it uses Windows calls beyond the network drivers
and certainly nothing that is registry dependent. I know this version
works on W/95-8.

Never liked Agent; doubt it would work on my iPad.

Too much like having a computer huh? ;-)
The only real trick with Agent is getting the options set the way you
like it. After that it does everything I want to do. I can do Email,
usenet, including binaries, up or down.
