I have no real idea what the modern versions of Agent are like. I've
tried their newer editions, but I just /really/ like the no-nonsense
GUI of the older versions. All the toolbars and buttons are very slim,
with very little wasted whitespace. This puts the focus on the actual
content. From what I can tell, a lot of the improvements made to Agent
over the years has been to binary support, which isn't something I'm
really interested in. Certainly not enough to pay for an upgrade.

I've tried Microplanet Gravity... it's fine. It's -from what I
remember- a fairly good clone of Forte Agent. It didn't really offer
me anything more than what I already had, though, so I stuck with my
ancient client.

So I found some posts elsewhere saying even Agent 8 was still way better than Microplanet Gravity.  I started looking into buying Agent, and apparently they're defunct, some people saying it's not possible to actually get/register a version of it as of May, no response from them. :(
I think there was a full free (not time limited) early version, but can't figure out which that was/how to get it.
