- Hi,
-
- I have just uploaded the new version (V1.2)of Gemterm ("gemtrm12.zoo") on
- artari.archiv.umich.edu. It contains serveral bug-fixes and a lot of functional
- enhancements. "gemtrm12.zoo" should replace "gemterm.zoo in the Mint directory.
-
- What is new since Gemterm V1.0
-
- - Gemterm now checks wether GDOS is loaded or not. V1.0 crashed if there was no
- GDOS.
- - The font selector now knows about the number of fonts installed. This should
- correct a bug that disabled font selection in some cases.
-
- What is new since Gemterm V1.1
-
- - Gemterm now runs also as application.
- - Gemterm now supports the TOSRUN pipe.
- - A small TOS startup program that launches TTPs inside a new window is
- included.
- - The current working directory is now also a parameter for a program that
- should be launched in a window.
- - Gemterm now knows about the environment variables "GEMTERMINF", "GEMTERMTTY",
- "GEMTERMAPPL" and "GEMTERMWINS". "GEMTERMINF" sets the path and the filename
- of the configuration file. "GEMTERMTTY" selects the device that is
- connected to the tty window. "GEMTERMAPPL" denotes the main application that
- Gemterm wants to talk to via the VA protocol and "GEMTERMWINS" adjusts the
- maximum number of term window during startup.
- - Gemterm reads the environment variables "SHELL" and "HOME" for its default
- configuration.
- - Bug-reports should be much easier, if you recompile Gemterm with the -DDEBUG
- option in case of crashes. With this option Gemterm traces all its actions to
- stderr.
- - A bug that hang GEM, when activating window-arrows with a very high
- frequentcy should be fixed. (No more additional WM_REDRAW message from
- Gemterm to itself, but instant redrawing.)
