# In re-writing the code from the ground up to save over 100K of memory,
bugs were introduced. This bug-fix patch attempts to stabilise the code
and we are also recruiting a team of Beta testers. (We want to compromise
between bringing out new features quickly and not having too short a Beta
test period.) There will probably be more 1.4n bug fixes and will hope to
return to our normal program of major releases of new features with
version 1.50. We would like to apologise for the problems and thank
everyone for the continuing support and patience they have shown. We
promise to try harder!
# Confirmed new file naming scheme to tolerate small fixes and improvements
between major versions: Distribution files will be named nnnnTERn.*
(eg: 0141TER1.ZIP) and patches to be applied to the immediately preceding
version will be called nnnnXTER.ZIP (eg: 0141XTER.ZIP)

# 13 was an unlucky number. These things just had to be fixed at once.
! IMPORTANT BUGFIX: Comments (1&2) in the phonebook could disappear
! Problems installing on some machines using 4DOS. Fixed this by not
creating a batchfile, instead installing directly from INSTALL.EXE.
! Fixed problem with Statusline in point system not being updated
! Fixed a problem with some lines being overwritten in the logwindow
in the point system.
! Fixed problem with encrypted phonebooks.
* When testing for costs, all spaces and hyphens (-) are now removed
before testing the two strings, making the comparison more reliable.
+ Extra backup of phonebook, FON -> PBK -> 2BK.
+ Auto installation of local language files. Create an self-extracting
archive and call it T-LOCAL.EXE and put in installation path.

# I was forced to use 1-2 days on Christmas again like last year. But
this year I bought a small portable, so I got a little work done
while you and the competitors were eating greasy food. I refined the
code so the program now uses more than 100K less memory (The .EXE
file size has increased a little because much has been moved into
overlays and therefore cannot be compressed, but this saves memory.)
# Because of complaints, we have revised the naming convention for the
distribution files. Thus: 013TER_A.ARJ and 013TER_B.ARJ.
# New registration forms, menu option and updated and new addresses of
registration sites in ISRAEL, ITALY, NEW ZEALAND, PORTUGAL, QUEBEC,
and SWITZERLAND.
# Support sites in more than 20 countries are now in SITES.FON.
# /NOEND has been moved to a toggle. (Omit closing screen)
+ VISIBLE FAST (tm) access menu installed on Alt-V (Dos commands can
be used in the filemanager). This menu is so fast because all
information for all keys is presented on one screen. You can also
access this menu with the mouse: click on any portion of the lower
right screen. You can then select any function with the mouse.
(Actually I was just testing some mouse functions when I suddenly
saw the need for this menu. Once I tried, it I couldn't live without
it!). {+}
+ CallerID is grabbed in hostmode when picking up the phone using
ISDN: 'RING '+ number
+ OS2\INSTALL.CMD a REXX file that will setup a folder and icons under
OS/2
+ Security password can now be asked when leaving the screen blanker.
+ Alt-Z keyhelp, can now be a user defined file (MANUAL\ALT-Z.HLP)
and so translated into the local language. (Online help files for
languages other than english have already been available since
version 1.0...)
+ Create secondary/encrypted logfile (on networks etc.) so that theft
of 'phonecalls, etc can be detected. {+}
+ The scrollback is now saved in color.
+ (U)nmark added in tagmenu, Alt-F6
+ Recovery of phonebooks with incorrect sizes attempted.
+ YooHoo/2U2 mail transfer handshakes are now available.
+ Z will zoom the grabber (Alt-K) to maximum/minimum
+ To send a ^ in a modem string you can now use ^^, ^M will send a #13
+ You can now adjust the size of the grabber (Alt-K) and move the
grabber around with the mouse.
+ New keyword when calling external programs. !CD will change to the
path in front of the file. Example: C:\ROBOMAIL\ROBOMAIL.EXE !CD
will change to C:\ROBOMAIL first before starting program. (Some
programs want to be started in their own directories.)
+ Toggle: Show connect speed in statusline can be turned off
+ Ctrl-right and left now works whenever editing strings.
+ Toggle: Release some timeslices while transferring files.
+ Detects 4DOS, shown in System information.
+ Detects IPX, shown in System information.
+ Now asks if files should be deleted after sending in the point
system.
+ Toggle: Reginfo bright, to adjust registration colour {+}
+ Toggle: Ask phone, when changing phonebook with Alt-D,P
+ The point system is now supporting 4D points directly.
+ Import from TELIX (copyright deltaComm Development/Jeffrey L Woods)
*.CNF configuration files.
* Heavily reduced the amount of memory used. Around 100-150k more free.
* The screen blanker will now work everywhere
* The cost editor can now edit 1000 entries (500 before)
* In filemanager when deleting, the tags will not disappear if
different paths
* If any entries are tagged in the phonebook, you will be asked:
Delete tagged or delete current? before deletion.
* Terminate will now respond faster when printing on screen.
* The Terminate Manual files (available in most european languages)
can now be 1000 lines long instead of 600.
! Fixed a bug when moving many entries in the phonebook
! If Alt-X was pressed from the hostmode or phonebook, Terminate would
exit without asking 'Are you sure' (if enabled).
! Fixed a problem with the mouse for some people after swapping.
! Fixed Change mail, when changing destination to another zone.
! AskDevice was turned off by a mistake.
! Fixed a bug with not calculating costs in point system
! When dialing and system was not open, then costs would be calculated
if you answered no.

# RIP and full fax support WILL be available soon
# The scripts will be developed simultaneously - suggestions before 15
January 1994 please!
+ Added SCANMODE (.DOC and SETMODE), a fantastic program that can find all
textmodes on all VGA cards. I found 2 modes on my card that were not
mentioned in the manual; try it! It is placed in UTILS\. Use Setmode to set
the modes from DOS, if you don't want Terminate to do this for you.
A *HeartWare* production.
+ Added OS/2 2.1 icons T-OS2-1.ICO and T-OS2-2.ICO
+ Each device now has a phonebook defined, this phonebook will be loaded
when starting up Terminate.
+ Each Boss in the point system can now use a separate device.
+ Online help is now more precisely relevant to the context when
invoked.
+ Capture keystrokes. Eg when A is pressed, then capture: [A,65]
+ E for editing when tagging with Alt-F5
+ AutoSave Scrollback is a new feature, which will save the entire buffer and
load next time you startup Terminate.
+ /NORIP if you do not want to import from all the other configuration files
that Terminate is capable of reading. Read INSTALL.DOC for more information.
+ Ask device at startup. For people that use several different devices.
+ DESCRIPT.ION is now supported in hostmode and can be shown like FILES.BBS
+ Toggles: Autosave tagfile (Alt-F6 menu) to TERMINAT.TBK
+ Toggles: Save phonebook before dialing, (only used when testing fossil etc.)
+ Hypercache is now detected and flushed when saving phone+cfg etc.
+ Both dial-prefix/suffix can now be edited directly in the phonebook and all
other places where the selectors are used.

+ You can now register from inside Terminate: Alt-O, R
+ Pressing W (PassW) in the Point system will edit the PASSWORD.TXT directly
+ Keyboard lock, Alt-M, L

and all places in the phonebook where you can change the entries. Can now
be protected with a password. (Alt-O, U, Security)

+ History: Pressing R will remove the first word on cursor line (filenames)
