Hello Dan!

Even running OpenXP as a point with your bbs locally would open
up the wonderful reading/editing/searching/database
functionality.
See
http://openxp.kolico.ca/sample-screenshots/ ..for
screenshots.
DC> 2. I`m interested (only) in software for Linux.
A linux installation is supported.
DC> A glance through the existing messages here would seem to

DC> Pretty much true? Any alternatives to that?
At first I was convinced that I would stick with a Win-GUI
based point program. But when I was introduced to OpenXP, it
became a wonderful journey of discovery of its feature-rich
operation.
