Hello Nicholas Boel!

 NB> I didn't spend much time with OpenXP. Once I realized the
 NB> UTF-8 support was limited to a one way direction, I lost
 NB> interest. Great software, just not for me.

UTF-8 isn't everything though. For the most part, english,  
french, german, swedish, finnish are supported in the basic  
char set, I believe.


 NB> Most of the "cons" listed for WinPoint seem to have been
 NB> addressed, as I didn't see any, if not most of those
 NB> listed when testing it. It's also possible the link you
 NB> provided is very old and hasn't been updated in awhile.
 NB> This would probably be the winner if I were at all
 NB> interested in being a point.

That was *my* link!  ;)  I created that table of pros and cons.  
Yes.. since the release of Winpoint 415, the table is much  
outdated now.


 NB> One of my main interests is current development. If it's
 NB> abandonware, I'm not interested unless the source is
 NB> available.

Yes.. Abandonware for Apoint is disappointment.  It wasn't a  
bad point system at all.
