`term' v4.1a update
===================
This patch fixes a number of problems in v4.1, as there are:
- The serial parameters were not set up correctly.
- HydraCom could cause `term' to hang upon startup.
- The widths of all numeric entry fields in the rates settings
panel was increased.
- When called from the phonebook, the "Standard" button as
shown by the translation table settings panel will cause
the translation settings to be reset to standard values.
- Text stored in the buffer did not get bit 8 stripped if
this feature was enabled in the serial settings.
- The transfer panel did not really respect the current `alert'
settings; it would always bring the `term' screen to the
front.
- `term' no longer requires you to set the tool stack to
16,384 bytes; it will do the magic all on its own.
In addition to this, a patch for "gtlayout.library" is available
which fixes a number of bugs in the user interface.

How to apply this patch?
========================
Copy the relevant patch file to the drawer your `term' v4.1 program
is found in. If you are using the special '030 version, copy
term-41a-030.pch, otherwise copy term-41a-any.pch. Copy "spatch"
into the same drawer, then enter the following:
spatch -pterm-41a-030.pch term
or
spatch -pterm-41a-any.pch term
depending on which patch file you copied. It will take a while to
apply the patch; this will create the file "term.new". Now enter
the following:
Rename term term.old
Rename term.new term
Finally, copy the file "gtlayout.library" into this drawer.
You can now delete the files "spatch", "term-41a-any.pch" and
"term-41a-030.pch" from the current drawer. If you copied the
old "gtlayout.library" release to the "Libs:" drawer, delete
it now and reboot your machine.
IMPORTANT!
==========
Keep your old `term' v4.1 release around, *do not* delete it!
Subsequent patches may be released which may fix additional bugs.
