- New in Doorway 2.3:
-
- REMOTE SCREEN SIZE AUTOSENSE:
-
- Added the ability to autosense the other end's screen capabilities. Use
- a /b:a to automatically sense if it has 24, 25, 42, 43, 49 or 50 lines,
- and to autosense if the "z" is needed. If the other end cannot be sensed
- will default to whatever other settings are given. For instance a /b:amz
- will try to auto sense, and if successful override the m and z to optimum
- set up, but if it cannot auto sense will assume the m and z. Will now
- work with Ripaint when put into autosense mode. Note that if 24 lines
- is sensed it will use the b parameter unless an x is included on the line.
-
- Here is a table of what the final setting will be when auto sensing depending
- on the defaults selected and what is sensed on the remote:
-
- sensed ok sensed but needs z unable to sense
- number of lines on remote - 24 >24 24 >24 any number
- default setting
- /b:za /b:m * /b:mz * /b:z
- /b:ma /b:m * /b:mz * /b:m
- /b:mza /b:m * /b:mz * /b:mz
- /b:xa /b:x * /b:xz * /b:x
- /b:xza /b:x * /b:xz * /b:xz
-
- There will be no b: entry on autosense if there is more than 25 lines and
- autosensed successfully.
-
- SHIFT STATUS UPDATING:
-
- Added shift, alt, and control key signals to the characters, for programs
- which refuse to accept a control or shifted character unless they can actually
- see the control or shift key pressed. Many programs which would work for most
- keys, but would not accept such things as the control keys, may now work.
-
- To make Doorway update the shift status use the /KS switch. Set Desqview
- to maintain seperate shift states if this switch is use.
-
- SWITCHING MODES BETWEEN DIRECT AND BIOS:
-
- You can now switch modes between direct and bios by using an int $10 call
- or the new version of dwredir.exe.
-
- ALTERNATE KEYBOARD HANDLING:
-
- Some programs, primarily 3270 and other emulators, do not handle the keyboard
- by standard means. Use of the /KBD switch forces Doorway to use the real
- keyboard buffer for characters coming in. This switch cannot be used with
- multitaskers as all keyboard entry will go to the foreground.
-
- KEYBOARD TIMEOUT:
-
- Now limited to 32767 seconds instead of 255 seconds.
-
- 16650 SUPPORT:
-
- DOORWAY and DWCOMM both now support 16650 UARTS.
-
- If you are using a 16650 UART it will be autodetected, and Doorway will
- configure to use it's 32 byte buffer.
-
- VT102 PRINTER REDIRECTION NOW SUPPORTED:
-
- If printer redirection is asked for and the remote will not support Doorway
- printer redirection, but VT102 redirection is supported, then Doorway will
- fall back to using the VT102 sequences.
-
- FORCE 16450 OPERATION WITH 16550 OR 16450 UARTS.
-
- Added /450 switch to override autodetection of 16550 and 16650 UARTS.
-
- REDIRECT SPECIFIC PRINTER:
-
- If you use a /Y:1 it will redirect lpt1, but print lpt2 and lpt3 on the host.
- Likewise a /Y:2 or /Y:3 will redirect lpt2 or lpt3 and the other lpts will
- print on the host.
-
- DWCOMM
-
- Supports foreign language files. Use the ENGLISH.LAN as a template for
- other languages. Rename to DWCOMM.LAN for DWCOMM to use them.
-
- DWREDIR
-
- supports switching between direct and bios mode as well as turning redirection
- on and off.
-
- New in DWHost v3.12 (1/8/95):
-
- - The interrupt service routine is now assembler-based and much faster.
- It also can handle 16550 UARTs and can operate with high IRQs (8-15).
-
- - The configuration screen and the context-sensitive help for
- configuration have been modified to accommodate entry of hi IRQ
- numbers. Note: To specify and IRQ of 10 to 15, you must enter
- "A" thru "F" respectively.
-
- - Problems in working with strange BIOS conventions for comm ports higher
- than COM2 have been eliminated. If COM3 or COM4 are specified during
- configuration, the user is forced to enter the port base address and
- IRQ used. This info only is what is referenced by the comm routines.
- The code no longer looks at BIOS-generated data for comm ports other
- than for COM1 or COM2.
