Thanks for the info, Pete.

Is it really necessary for the developers to implement this directly
into the application itself? Sure, that would be the ideal, but Fabian
DJ1YFK has written a Win-Test score 'grabber' (which will now be updated
to reflect the change within Win-Test to transmit the info real-time in
UDP frames). 

I see there are some postings to the list which are 'archived' in a
simple manner on the above URL. DJ1YFK writes:

As I say, the ideal would be to have the XML support directly in
Win-Test but right now I imagine there are more important features/tasks
that the developers are working on. If there are third-party solutions
to do the conversion to the XML format, I think that'd be fine.

The advantage of the Win-Test developers having the current system is it
allows the end user do what they wish; it isn't limited to one system.
So the overall ideal would be to have the system to allow transmission
of data via UDP frames *and* to directly support the XML format. That
way if people want to do other stuff with the UDP frame data, they can
do.
