Very nice. Once configured, never have to bother        with separate tasks like "compiling".                      MF>Real-time language switching to/from English/German.              Really? WHERE is that?                      MF>Multi-Quote replying.              What is so particular about that? Is there a specific setting/config for        that?                      MF>Twit filter.              Albiet, limited to "fully listed" or manually added names: "fname        lname@z:nnn/nnn.p"                      MF>Show hex dumps of messages.              WHERE is that?                      MF>Supports collection of identical echos from multiple Boss Nodes.              I bet you really like that, to compare feeds from multiple boss nodes?                      MF>Fully integrated email/news clients(POP3, SMTP, NNTP, SSL/TLS, IPv4,        MF>IPv6)              That is rather cool. Therefore, OXP could be a quite nice all-in-one kind        of solution for someone. But personally, t-bird or similar Windows prog        is the better tool for email and nntp, IMHO. ;)              Practically ALL of your PROs and CONs observations are now included in the        table:               https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/              Since the list was quite long, I grouped your submissions as per        "function" and separated the new groupings a bit for better readability.                             ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/354 426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/789 854 8125 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 342/200 393/68       PATH: 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
