- Probably not. You may want the archive anyway, though. It contains
- many patches for a variety of features/bugs in PCPLUS 2.01. The
- patches are text files with comments at the top of each, so you cna
- read them and install the ones you want. The program to apply the
- patches ships with PCPLUS, I forget the name, but it's not hard to
- find.
-
- The most convenient patch was the one to disable the ^] function.
- This key used to toggle the status line on and off (I think). With
- the patch, it sends ASCII 29, which is the break character for Telnet
- session. Very useful.
-
- There is also one to disable the mouse in each of the PCPLUS programs.
