# RIP and full fax support WILL BE available soon
# The scripts will be developed simultaneously.
+ Added SCANMODE (.DOC and SETMODE), a fantastic program that can find all
textmodes on all VGA cards. I found 2 modes on my card that were not
mentioned in the manual; try it! It is placed in UTILS\. Use Setmode to set
the modes from DOS, if you don't want Terminate to do this for you.
A *HeartWare* production.
+ Added OS/2 2.1 icons T-OS2-1.ICO and T-OS2-2.ICO
+ Each device now has a phonebook defined, this phonebook will be loaded
when starting up Terminate.
+ Each Boss in the point system can now use a separate device.
+ Online help is now more precisely relevant to the context when
invoked.
+ Capture keystrokes. Eg when A is pressed, then capture: [A,65]
+ E for editing when tagging with Alt-F5
+ AutoSave Scrollback is a new feature, which will save the entire buffer and
load next time you startup Terminate.
+ /NORIP if you do not want to import from all the other configuration files
that Terminate is capable of reading. Read INSTALL.DOC for more information.
+ Ask device at startup. For people that use several different devices.
+ DESCRIPT.ION is now supported in hostmode and can be shown like FILES.BBS
+ Toggles: Autosave tagfile (Alt-F6 menu) to TERMINAT.TBK
+ Toggles: Save phonebook before dialing, (only used when testing fossil etc.)
+ Hypercache is now detected and flushed when saving phone+cfg etc.
+ Both dial-prefix/suffix can now be edited directly in the phonebook and all
other places where the selectors are used.
+ Detect of all textmodes via SCANMODE, in Screen and colors
+ You can now register from inside Terminate: Alt-O, R
+ Pressing W (PassW) in the Point system will edit the PASSWORD.TXT directly
+ Keyboard lock, Alt-M, L
+ MAKEBBS in UTILS (and PASCAL) is now slighty improved
+ Line command in filenames & paths. Now when you edit the *.HLP files from
inside Terminate, the cursor will be placed on the same line if you are
using Qedit.
+ Security passwords installed. The configuration, point system, file manager
and all places in the phonebook where you can change the entries. Can now
be protected with a password. (Alt-O, U, Security)
+ !E on any command line, will call external programs without using a new
COMMAND.COM (COMSPEC). In this way you save 2-3k, but then we need the
complete path and extension; eg: TMAIL\TMAIL.EXE !E !M
+ /NOEND will not disable closing screen (if registered) Alt-X
+ History: Pressing R will remove the first word on cursor line (filenames)
* Improved OS/2 timeslices, only full speed when transferring files.
* CPS value used to calculate estimates in filemanager is now saved
* Tested and changed the parameters for HydraCom Bi-protocol. It can be tested
against DAN BBS.
* Find in Scrollback, will now highlight more than 1 Find on each line
* Alt-R improved. Now you can edit/create download path directly - even while
downloading. And turn wildcards on/off
* Increased max found lines in Tag from filelist from 250 to 500 Alt-F6,T
* Filemanager, when overwriting a file, now filedate/time is shown.
! Fixed a bug when the costmanager was turned off and CALL BOSS was used
! When importing Frontdoor Userprofiles, the flags were reversed.
! Fixed a problem if the Boss had too many AKA's
! Files could not be moved with the filemanager if the file already existed
! Now detects connect rate when dialing with the point system
! VGA fadeout is now working again
! Fixed a problem in the point system: files were not Truncated/Deleted

! Fixed a problem with costs when calling Boss or autodial boss.
# Because of the extensive online help now available, we have split the
distribution files into two. We have also taken the opportunity to revise
the naming convention for the distribution files. Thus: !!TER12A.ARJ and
!!TER12B.ARJ.
# New registration forms, menu option and updated and new addresses of
registration sites.

Well it's about time. A program the size of Terminate will always have
small mistakes, but remember that Terminate will continue to be developed
from your feedback in the future and have more and more features.

fixed in Async Pro 1.12.

so you can call Terminate from a mailer.
