Terminius 2.0d ReadMe file
--------------------------
This maintenence release corrects a few bugs that have been
reported since the 2.0c release. Although a few unresolved bugs
still exist, I didn't want to hold this one off any longer due to
the DISPLAY command syntax error when Terminus is used under
AmigaDOS 1.3.
One bug report mentioned by a few CompuServe users concerning a
lock-up during logon, lost characters and other things; please make
sure that the "micro inquiry" option in your user profile is turned
off. GO PROFILE and enter the terminal options in your permanent
settings to change this option.

Terminius 2.0c ReadMe file
--------------------------
Due to a leak during beta testing of 2.0b, that version was not
officially released.
The History.txt file included with this archive details the
other changes and fixes in the 2.0c release of Terminus.
Both installation scripts can be executed from any directory
you choose instead of just from floppy as before.

Terminius 2.0a ReadMe file
--------------------------
This is an interim bugfix release due to several major problems
with the initial 2.0 release of Terminus.
This release of Terminus now provides a screen mode requester
for 2.x users. In order to access it you will need to have the
V38 release of asl.library (included with the 2.1 release of
AmigaDOS) or the V38 (version 2.1) of ReqTools present in your
LIBS: directory. If neither is found Terminus will not be able
to start.
The History.txt file included with this archive details the
other changes and fixes in the 2.0a release of Terminus.

Terminius 2.0 ReadMe file
-------------------------
Welcome to Terminus, the long awaited replacement to JR-Comm 1.02a.
This archive represents two years of development of which one year was
spent beta testing over 30 releases by over 40 people. They have my
deepest gratitude for putting up with me for the duration.
Although I sincerly think that this program is quite reliable it
most likely still contains a few bugs being that it is the first
release. Hopefully, they're few and minor, if not, they will be
corrected shortly as the reports come in.
Two items that are missing from this initial release are the
JR-Comm to Terminus phonebook converter and a basic host script.
I've not had time to finish the utility yet, I plan to have it done
shortly and will post it seperately once it is finished. Registered
versions will not ship until the utility is done either, figure on a
few weeks for that to get done and the registered version to be
released.
The host script was planned on being developed simultaneously
with the debugging of the script interpeter. Things got sidetracked
and I never got around to completing it. The host.scp file that's
included with this archive is a script fragment that handles user
login, nothing more. If you would like to "adopt" the host script
I'd appreciate the help, just ask so that I know not to duplicate
your efforts.
Installing Terminus
-------------------
This archive should be dearchived to a blank floppy named
"TerminusMaster", but it can be installed from any directory you
desire. Two installation scripts are present, one for hard disk
installation and one for creating a boot/work floppy disk set for
use on a floppy based system. The script is able to create 1.3,
2.04 and 2.1 boot disks.
Registering Terminus
--------------------
Registered JR-Comm users can upgrade to Terminus for a fee of $10US
plus a small fee for shipping. First-time users can register Terminus
for $40US plus shipping as well.
Credit cards are still out of my reach. All attempts at getting a
merchant account have been unseccessful so far. I'm still trying
though.
I'm also trying to locate some distribution contacts in Europe and
Australia so that people overseas don't have to get penalized by the
high cost of converting local currency to US funds.
I'll post more info about these things in the coming weeks once the
initial release has settled down.
Printed user manuals
--------------------
Although I can no longer provide for printed output due to the size
of the user manual, I am looking into commercial printing services to
get a small format, bound manual done. Further details will be made
available when and if one becomes available.
Future plans for Terminus
-------------------------
I've already outlined the addition of several major features that
will be added to Terminus. These items will be added prior to moving
over to a WB2.0-only version of Terminus.
Tentative plans are:
2.1 - Add RIP support. RIP is an acronym for Remote Image Protocol
that is gaining popularity in the IBM PC world and is the
intended graphics replacement for SkyPix which was dropped
from Terminus.
2.2 - Add Hydra protocol. Hydra is the only publically documented
full-duplex transfer protocol that I've come in contact with
so far. It originated on the IBM PC and hopefully has some
support there.
2.3 - Tokenize the script interpeter for faster execution.
2.4 - Add a full implementation of Super Kermit with Sliding
Windows.
Additional features may appear with each release, but these are
the major items that I have slated for development at this time.
