      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet d82847ef       REPLY: 2:240/2188.31@fidonet d829eca1       PID: OpenXP/5.0.38 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       Hello Martin!              I see that you've been very busy test-driving OXP!                     ** 06.05.19 - 14:08, Martin Foster wrote to August Abolins:                      MF>OpenXP        MF>======               MF>[CONS]        MF>No support for USB printers.        MF>No support for Wireless printers.              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?                      MF>[PROS]       ----------8<----------        MF>Twit filter.              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.                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
