- Description of enhancements and bug fixes
- -----------------------------------------
- 1). This is the first release since version 1.0. Version
- 2.0 was never released.
-
- 2). Dynamic buffers. Each re-directed printers buffer may be
- dynamically changed. In otherwords, you may start off with
- the default 4k buffer for LPT1 and change to 32k, then
- change back to 8k (or 0 to disable printer). We dont know of
- any similar product that allows this. Memory MUST be available
- to allow this. Going from a large buffer to smaller should
- be NO problem, but getting memory when going from a small
- buffer to large WILL be dependant on the current application
- that is running (if its freed all memory it dosnt need).
-
- 3). POP-UP over graphics mode applications (in their mode).
- If allowed , LPTz will pop-up over current graphics
- applications, in the current graphics mode. This is NO small
- feat. We have seen no other products that do what we do, that
- allow you to pop-up over graphics apps. This is our FIRST
- attempt at graphics (even though we have an original IBM PC
- with 1982 BIOS). We dont have ALL the answers for LPTz in this
- release, BUT released it hoping for feedback (constructive).
-
- See the '-G' option in the documentation.
-
- Graphics modes for CGA/EGA/VGA are supported. Hercules is not.
