- ****************************************************************************
-
- ANNOUNCEMENT:
- If you selected the "Disable full screen Edit" setting on the
- system page of SetVNC as setting for ViNCEd, you will have noticed
- that the RETURN key does not operate like expected in the SHELL.
-
- THIS IS NOT A BUG!
-
- This edit mode is for programs that wants to read masks from the
- input, UNLIKE THE SHELL. DO NOT TURN IT ON FOR THE SHELL!
-
- If you like to glue the cursor to the edit position and don't want
- it moving 'round the screen if marking blocks or scrolling, turn on
- the XTerm Cursor Mode in the edit pages of SetVNC!
-
- If you prefer single TAB requesters, turn on both the "Requester if
- expansion is not unique" and the "First TAB expands fully" flag
- in the Shell pages of SetVNC.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Another note:
-
- VirusWorkShop seems to have trouble with the overlay file structure
- that is used by the SetVNC program.
- THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! It is a bugfix of the oldish CBM overlay
- manager which is really buggy!
- VirusWorkShop will be updated soon. (I hope)
-
- To trick VirusWorkshop, the SetVNC program in this archive is
- encoded. Use the "Decode" program from the "Extras" drawer to
- decode manually. The installer script has been updated to do
- this for you.
-
- Thanks Urban, for reporting!
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Some virus checkers might complain about the set PktWait() pointer
- of the VNCFiler.supervisor. Again:
-
- THIS IS NOT A VIRUS!
-
- Anti-Beol has been updated to handle this case, please
- update your copy as well!
