There's a new (and free) program called DXLog.net by 9A5K that is 90%
compatible with Win-Test.  It has full support for the CQP and many other
contests not supported by Win-Test, such as the CWOpen and other QSO
parties.

New contests can be added to DXLog.net pretty easily via configuration
files (text files).

There's not much documentation yet, but anyone already familiar with
Win-Test's menus, keystrokes, and shortcuts can easily install DXLog.net
and start using the program.  I've been testing the beta version, which had
several bugs, but all of them have been fixed by 9A5K very quickly.

Check it out, but please do not ask questions about DXLog.net here in the
Win-Test reflector; use the DXLog.net reflector instead.

Personally, I plan to use DXLog.net for any contest not supported by
Win-Test, since it's going to be very easy to switch back and forth between
the two.  Win-Test is still more stable and has more function (custom
scripts, OmniRig support, Contest Recorder, better COM and LPT port CW
timing), but DXLog.net 2.0 is catching up very quickly.
