- ABOUT THE RELEASE
-
- This is our first major release with documents since 1.11w in September
- 1992. The biggest change is the documentation has been entirely
- rewritten and expanded. We welcome your comments and suggests on our
- new documents.
-
- New since release 1.11w is Windows NT support, 32 bit OS/2 support, and
- limited Windows 3.1 support. The package also has support for
- additional communications drivers, such as TCP/IP under Windows, named
- pipes under OS/2, and FOSSIL under DOS.
-
- See CHANGES.PRN for a detailed list of changes to UUPC/extended in
- recent list.
-
- The Windows NT, pre-existing 16 bit OS/2, and DOS versions are all
- stable. The OS/2 32 bit support is stable but very new; the 16 bit OS/2
- version continues to exist as a backup. The Windows 3.1 version should
- be used only by those prepared to perform some debugging; it has known
- problems with UUPOLL, for example. (It is mostly being released to
- allow others to test with it and offer up fixes.)
-
