- ===========================================================================

- This file describes the bug corrections and the improvements that where
- made to "Terminal" from version 1.9 to 2.0. The following text should help
- you to decide if you want to download the newer version. Bug reports and
- suggestions for improvement are always welcome. All my excuses to those
- people who suggested improvements that could not (yet) be implemented in
- this version. And thanks to all those who send reports and suggestions.

- ___________________________________________________________________________
- XMODEM
-
- XModem receive did not close files that needed only one block.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- SYSTEM 7
-
- Corrected a font problem that prevented Terminal for running under System 7
- (7.0b1). Increased Terminal's default partition size from 128 to 160K.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- MENUS
-
- The script menu, the macro menu and the port pop-up menu, now display
- correctly any names that might include the menu meta characters ( ';' '^'
- '!' '<' '/' '(' ).
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- SETTINGS FILE
-
- Volumes are now saved by name not by reference number. The settings file
- structure has changed.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- ZMODEM
-
- Added ZModem file transfers.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- CONTROL CHARACTERS
-
- Now it's possible to use the option key or the command as control key for
- those keyboards that lack a control key. On keyboards with a control key
- all characters that need the option key are now available. Previously the
- option key always acted as a control key, creating unaccessible characters
- on international keyboards.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- SCRIPTS
-
- Scripts can now be executed by opening them from the Finder (i.e. double
- clicking on a script file). There is a new option in the File menu: "Kiss
- script file" to change creator of TEXT files to Terminal's creator. Hold
- down option (or shift, or command) key to revert to TEXT.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- HANDSHAKE
-
- XON/XOFF, CTS only, DTR only, CTS&DTR handshake or no handshake can be used
- all the time (not just while sending text files as previously).
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- OTHER SERIAL DEVICES
-
- Terminal can now use all possible serial ports, not just the modem or
- printer port, if the Communications Tool Box is available and if those
- serial drivers are correctly registered with the Communications Tool Box.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- CONFIGURATION RESOURCE
-
- The structure of the 'CNFG' (id 128) resource has changed. The font is now
- stored by name instead of by number. Added 'TMPL' resource to edit 'CNFG'
- resource with ResEdit.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- INTRINSIC FUNCTIONS
-
- You must review your scripts that use the following instrinsic functions:
- download() Changed
- protocol() Changed
- setup() Changed
- text() Changed
- upload() Changed
- xyparms() New
- zparms() New
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- ICONS
-
- Terminal's icons have changed. There are now distinct icons for:
- Terminal, the application
- Terminal Settings, settings file
- MacBinary, files created with the "Make MacBinary..." menu command
- Partial ZModem, uncomplete files received by ZModem
- Script, script TEXT files
- So if you have had an old version of Terminal on your disk, please rebuild
- your Desktop file so that the Finder becomes aware of the new file types
- and icons.
- ___________________________________________________________________________
- COMPILER
-
- Terminal can be compiled with THINK C 4.02 (or THINK C 4.04 for System 7)
- or MPW 3.2 C.
