`term' v4.7a update
===================
This patch addresses a number of problems in `term' v4.7, namely:
- Another last minute change that bit me. I made the dialer text box lines
a little smaller and took out some few lines that appeared to be useless.
Well, they weren't that useless after all. The changes cut off the message
box text. They now look like they did before.
- In the PhoneLog format call log files, host name and number were swapped
[Maik Schreiber].
- The job queue processing was broken for one type of job. Actually, there
was just one job around of this type. Startup scripts wouldn't execute
but crash the machine [Markus Dages].
- The pen allocation code could run forever due to a typo I made. When
is = != ==?
- The "Time to connect" settings only entered into the cost calculation,
but never had any effect on the time displayed on the screen.
- The "Print screen" and "Print clipboard" code was broken. `term' could
believe that during printing an error had occured before even the first
character was printed [Michael Jaccoud].
- For some features `term' would allow you append data to existing files,
such as when opening a capture file. With the "protective mode" enabled
you would be asked to confirm that you want to replace an existing file
before you would eventually get to confirm that you really want to append
data to it. I changed this, so you will see only one requester now
[Edith Goldstein].
- Added the last few V34 bps rates to the default list. The bps rate selector
also no longer rounds off baud rates to default values [Russ LeBar].
- If the serial device driver doesn't open and returns error #3 `term' now
pretends it was error #2. The MFC duart.device does this.
- The order in which you pick items from the quick dial menu now once again
affects the order in which they end up in the dial list.
- The fast! macro display was using one single operating system call that
was unavailable under Kickstart 2.04, crashing Intuition almost
instantly. Fixed [David Dares].
- Changed the way uploads from the upload queue take place. The upload list
is no longer locked until the transfer is finished.
- The ARexx "DIAL" command was entirely broken. It now finally does what
it was spec'ed to [Daniel Wicke].
