=========================== Disk layout changes ===========================
===========================================================================
`term'  and  the accompanying material has grown so large that I decided to
split  the  distribution  and to put it on two disks (I may also distribute
new  `term' releases on high-density floppy disks in the future).  Disk one
(this  disk) contains the basic files, libraries and programs to run `term'
successfully.   Disk  two  holds  the  source  codes  to  the  program  and
additional programs, utilities and example ARexx script files.


================== Changes, bug fixes and enhancements ====================
===========================================================================
- The  program  no longer tends to crashing when, after failing to open the
  serial driver on startup, a different driver is selected.

- The  XPR-interface finally supports the full XPR-specs, but are there any
  XPR-libraries to make use of the full specs?

- All popular terminal emulation bugs have been fixed, I also took the time
  to add two ANSI sequences.  The VT-52 codes are still not supported and I
  don't think they ever will be.

- The  user-interface  finally conforms to the `User interface style guide'
  guidelines.

- Under some very rare conditions (if an auto-download had been invoked and
  no  further  input was received from the serial line) the transfer window
  would never be closed.  Oh well, this has been fixed.

- The  program  no  longer  crashes  when, instead of a console-like output
  device, `NIL:' has been selected as AmigaDOS/ARexx output device.

- Several  bugs  have  been  fixed in the ARexx-interface, up- and download
  finally  work  and  the  XPR-transfer  library can be selected correctly.
  Some  more  bugs  may be lurking in the interface, I don't know yet which
  and how many.

- The  rate  settings  control  panel no longer accepts funny dates such as
  February 31.

- The terminal beep sound is finally guaranteed not to force the program to
  wait in case no vacant audio channel is available.

- If  large  enough,  the  packet  window  will  display the entire command
  history list.

- The  transfer  window now sports a zoom gadget -- but please don't expect
  the transfer progress bars to be redrawn when the window is unzoomed.

- The status line display can be redruced to a single display line now.

- A  new review buffer has been implemented as a window to be opened on the
  `term'  main  screen.   Copy  & paste are supported just like in standard
  console windows.

- Since  it's  always  fun  and  annoys  a  good lot of users, I once again
  changed the names of all settings files.
