Hi James: There are actually no third-party packages available for OSCAR 4.2, that is why nothing showed up in the list.
Regarding BLCR package - there isn't one for OSCAR proper, though I believe there is one available for the SSS-OSCAR distribution which I believe should be almost up to OSCAR 4.2.1. It may be possible to use that... thoughts on this Thomas, John? Can you please file a bug (in Group 5.0) regarding the issues you encountered while using OPD? At the very least we should display a message making it clear that there are no third-party packages available.
