      directory.

Version 4.2
08/21/93
   1. When you and your remote opponent are using this version in Telego
      mode you can now switch between Play and View mode and also play
      Variations.  In order to help keep the two players synchronized in
      situations where the connection causes sizeable delays, some of the
      menu items can only be selected when it is your turn.  An exception is
      the Variations item where it must be your opponent's turn to select
      it.  Two new menu items were added to the 'Other Functions' menu to
      support these new features.
   2. Turn the coordinate grid for the board on and off with <F8>.
   3. Added a menu item to switch between the two communication protocols
      before the start of a game.
   4. Removed the 'Mouse delay' and 'Name game' menu items.

Version 4.1
04/29/93
   1. Full control of the color of the board is available on the Defaults
      screen.
   2. Fixed a bug which gave the wrong Interrupt Req # for Com 3.
   3. Added EGA and CGA support.  To force Telego to a lower resolution
      mode from what it automatically detects for your video card type
      'Telego E' or 'Telego C' at the DOS prompt.
   4. Fixed a bug in the byo yomi code for forfeited games.
   5. Messages from the opponent appear in a color selected on the Defaults
      menu.
   6. You can set the mouse delay (in milliseconds) on the Defaults menu.
   7. Create a PCX image of the board during a game and print it to an HP
      compatible laser jet printer by hitting <alt> L.  Error messages are
      described at the end of the Telego manual.

Version 4.0
12/29/92
   1. Comments made during modem play are no longer visible to opponent.
   2. <F9> will show the current time.

12/06/92
   1. Telego has been rewritten in C++ giving it more speed, improved
      graphics and smaller program size.  This version is for VGA users.
      You will need to redo your Setup and Phonlist files.
   2. Setups screen now asks for the name of a text viewer and a text editor
      so you can use your favorite programs for these functions.  I have
      included a public domain text viewer (READ.COM).
   3. If you are using a standard serial port you only need to select the
      port number on the Setups screen.  The Interrupt # and I/O address
      have built-in defaults.
   4. 13*13 and 9*9 boards are now available.  When playing by phone in
      Telego mode both players must manually select the agreed on board
      size.
   5. You will be notified during a modem game if the connection is lost.
      This feature doesn't work if you are using PCPursuit and your
      opponent disconnects.
   6. Added a 'Mode' selection on the game menu.  Two modes are available:
      'Viewing' will not allow you to change the game record and is the
      default mode when you select 'Recall game'.  'Playing' modifies the
      game record and is the default mode when playing a game.
   7. A 'speed box' at the left of the board is active during viewing mode
      for rapid forward and reverse scanning of the game.  No comments or
      variations appear when using the speed box.
   8. In local mode you can 'slide' a stone to a new location by holding both
      buttons down and moving the cursor.
   9. Rewrote the rudimentary territory estimator.  When you estimate during
      a modem game a message is sent to your opponent.  You can agree before
      the game whether you will allow each other to use this function.
  10. On the file directory screen you can page the file list with a mouse
      by clicking the buttons while NOT on either of the boxes.
  11. Included a file (GOCIS.DOC) to help players use CompuServe's Modem to
      Modem Lobby with Telego.
  12. Dropped support for the Tele-tsuke program.

Version 3.8  02/16/92
   1. Added a new field to the Phonlist database so PcPursuit users can put
      the city code in the directory and have Telego autodial from the <F3>
      key.  You will need to overwrite your old Phonlist files and reenter
      the phone numbers.
   2. Added ymodem batch file transfer capability.
   3. Cleaned up the communications screen and redefined some function keys.
   4. Cleaned up the Setups screen.
   5. Documented the <F8> estimator function (for mouse users).
   6. Fixed a small bug in the Set Clock function.
   7. Fixed a bug causing Telego to bomb after using <F7> to hang up the
      modem.
   8. Files with .TXT or .DOC extensions can be read by selecting them in the
      Recall Game screen.
