- BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.40 11/18/90
-
- Fixed the problems with all the Spawned stuff when SnoopPipe was not
- defined, especially AfterMail, CleanUp, Packer and SpawnBBS. Now
- compiled with MS C 6.00 and maximum optimization.

- BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.40 7/18/90
-
- Fixed the problem with Snoop/SnoopPipe. Used to have to have a string
- SNOOPPIPE set with the \Pipe\name in order to avoid Traps (either at Bink
- start or returning from Max). Updated B_INITVA.C and BTCONFIG.C to
- fix it.

- BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.40 7/14/90
-
- Fixed the set of MaxBytes problems so they now work as advertised.
- Fixed the ZMODEM Receive Debris message so the correct message shows.
- Apparently still a problem with ExtrnMail.

- Differences from the DOS version: 7/12/90
-
- 1. Since it doesn't have a FOSSIL, BTP relies on the BAUD and LOCKBAUD
- to set up buffered MODEMs. Set the BAUD to the highest CONNECT
- value your MODEM will return, usually 9600. Set the value after
- LOCKBAUD to the highest rate between your serial port and your
- MODEM. For HST, that's usually BAUD 9600 and LOCKBAUD 19200 or 38400.
-
- 2. Several Environment strings are used to provide information or to
- override defaults values unique to the OS/2 version:
-
- Set SnoopPipe=\pipe\pipename where pipename matches your PMSnoop.
- Set TBuf=buffersize to override the default 8K xmit buffer.
- Set RBuf=buffersize to override the default 8K recv buffer.
- Set JANUSPriority=jprior to override the default priority 3.
- Set RegularPriority=rprior to override the default priority 2.
- Set MODEMPriority=mprior to override the default priority 4.
-
- 3. To specify a PMSnoop's pipe named MAXSnoop: Set SnoopPipe=\pipe\MAXSnoop
- If its on a Server, use Set SnoopPipe=\\servername\MAXSnoop
-
-
- 4. BTP leaves most of the serial port flags alone now. If you run a buffered
- MODEM, be sure it supports CTS/RTS handshaking, and then use the MODE
- command to set them on: MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,TO=ON,RTS=ON,OCTS=ON
-
- 5. If you have a Western Digital 16550-PL UART, I recommend that you only
- run with BUFFER=ON and insure that the serial port to MODEM is locked
- above 2400 BPS. If you have a National Semiconductor 16550A or AF, then
- you can run with BUFFER=AUTO (both are MODE command flags) and not worry
- about the serial port to MODEM rate.
-
- 6. Add the BSRCP240 on top of the BSRC_240 archive's contents. Tailor the
- LINK path to your own. Use the FSTAT.OBJ (Large Model) unless you have
- the INTERNAL.H and DOSTYPES.H from the MicroSoft C Compiler's Library
- source.
-
- 7. There will be a multithread version of BTP 2.40 coming out soon, watch
- for it.
