- A Gift-Ware telecommunications program written by

- =========================== Disk layout changes ===========================
- ===========================================================================
- `term' and the accompanying material has grown so large that I decided to
- split the distribution and to put it on two disks (I may also distribute
- new `term' releases on high-density floppy disks in the future). Disk one
- (this disk) contains the basic files, libraries and programs to run `term'
- successfully. Disk two holds the source codes to the program and
- additional programs, utilities and example ARexx script files.
-
-
- ================== Changes, bug fixes and enhancements ====================
- ===========================================================================
- - The program no longer tends to crashing when, after failing to open the
- serial driver on startup, a different driver is selected.
-
- - The XPR-interface finally supports the full XPR-specs, but are there any
- XPR-libraries to make use of the full specs?
-
- - All popular terminal emulation bugs have been fixed, I also took the time
- to add two ANSI sequences. The VT-52 codes are still not supported and I
- don't think they ever will be.
-
- - The user-interface finally conforms to the `User interface style guide'
- guidelines.
-
- - Under some very rare conditions (if an auto-download had been invoked and
- no further input was received from the serial line) the transfer window
- would never be closed. Oh well, this has been fixed.
-
- - The program no longer crashes when, instead of a console-like output
- device, `NIL:' has been selected as AmigaDOS/ARexx output device.
-
- - Several bugs have been fixed in the ARexx-interface, up- and download
- finally work and the XPR-transfer library can be selected correctly.
- Some more bugs may be lurking in the interface, I don't know yet which
- and how many.
-
- - The rate settings control panel no longer accepts funny dates such as
- February 31.
-
- - The terminal beep sound is finally guaranteed not to force the program to
- wait in case no vacant audio channel is available.
-
- - If large enough, the packet window will display the entire command
- history list.
-
- - The transfer window now sports a zoom gadget -- but please don't expect
- the transfer progress bars to be redrawn when the window is unzoomed.
-
- - The status line display can be redruced to a single display line now.
-
- - A new review buffer has been implemented as a window to be opened on the
- `term' main screen. Copy & paste are supported just like in standard
- console windows.
-
- - Since it's always fun and annoys a good lot of users, I once again
- changed the names of all settings files.
