Hello Martin!

I see that you've been very busy test-driving OXP!

I've never gotten OXP to "print" anything for me.  I thought that at least  
my options to select my *virtual printers*, CutePDF or OneNote2007, would  
pop up as choices, but they don't.

BTW.. considering that OXP seems to inherit direct references to legacy   
LPT1/2/3 etc.. for configuration, maybe the hacks out there to redirect  
LPT# to USB# might work?

How do you do that?  One shortcoming in OXP is the lack of overall Help  
Search.  There is really no clue *where* to find certain features when I  
want. :(

And some of the features that you cite could use a little more explanation  
like this:

 Autopost feature.
 [Automatic Message-Sending] = Edit/Autosend

 This is the list of messages to be sent auto-
 matically. The list can have as many entries as you
 wish. Note: All auto-send messages must exist indivi-
 dually as files on the disk.


Autopost sounds very handy for the busy writer or sysop.


 MF>Open source(GPLv2).
 MF>Source freely available either by svn or by d/loadable ZIP archive.
 MF>Actively developed.
 MF>Responsive developer.

Again.. all good!  So, things like this would be great in the comparison  
table as extra notes.
