- General Release Notes
- =====================

-
- Multiview Mascot
-
- Problem with Multiview Mascot: If you are running a Mascot session on
- the server, and paste a large amount of text (more than about 100
- chars) from the clipboard to TelStar, Mascot locks up completely.
- You can perform the same operation running the same program
- without Mascot, and get normal operation.

- SCO 3.2v4.2
-
- Setting environment variables doesn't seem to work on SCO 3.2v4.2, even
- though the 'handshake' completes correctly. If anyone knows why, I'd
- like to be informed.
-
- ---
- ANSI & CUSTOM SEQUENCES
-
- Ansi/vt100 code sequences that start with "ESC[?" and "ESC[=" seem to
- be implementation-specific or custom implementations. Certainly I've
- found no documentation delineating any standards for any of these
- sequences. If anyone can point any out, I'd appreciate it.
-
- ---
- ANSI & COLOR
-
- The Ansi spec seems to assume that only 8 colours are available for
- foreground and background. Because Windows doesn't impose those
- limitations, I've expanded the spec. See term definitions in the
- help file for details.

- Changes For 1.1
- ----------------
-
- When the window is resized, the window center is maintained instead of
- the top left corner. This seems to be more useable.
- ---
- Made the contact info in HELP/CONTACT US into active buttons, i.e. email
- button calls up your mail program, and web button calls up your browser.
- ---
- Added init capability to term types. Contents of file init_xxxxx are
- 'sent' to your terminal immediately after connection is established.
- Useful for programming function keys, default colors, etc.
-
- Please note that this is an interim fix. The next major release will
- use an INI file to specify init strings, either directly or by
- specifying a file name.
