BinkleyTerm-ST 2.40 Update notes
--------------------------------

Changes made between 2.40d and 2.40e:

1. It has been recompiled with a new version of Lattice C5.  Some bugs that 
   this has corrected include:
    - Date and Time of compilation as reported by pressing Alt-V in 
      Terminal mode is now correct.
    - Problem with opening new files, which I kludged for 2.40d is now 
      fixed, so Kludges have been removed.
   It may have fixed a few other things that went un-noticed.  Its probably 
   slightly faster and smaller.
   
   I also recompiled without precompiled headers which may have been 
   causing a few un-noticed problems due to some #define's.

   Also all "#ifdef... #elif... #endif" constructs have been replaced with 
   "#if defined()... #elif... #endif" to aid in portability.

2. A Janus error message has been put into the recent event window where it 
   belongs instead of the transfer window messing up the screen.

3. Some minor modifications have been made to some of the Janus code.  I'm 
   not sure if this has had any effect or not.

4. Stopped it from bombing if BANNER is not defined in binkley.cfg.

5. Added Enno Borgsteede's modification for being in more than point 
   network.

6. Compiled with full ANSI error checking and removed all except about 4 
   warnings.  I'm not sure this will have any effect, but you never know.


Known Bugs and bad features
---------------------------

A lot of people are reporting problems with HST modems and negotiation 
filter messages.

Some people are reporting problems with RTS/CTS flow control.

The time and CPS rating for file transfers is often wrong.  This could be 
related to RTS/CTS/interrupt problems.

There may be a problem with using errorlevels, lockbaud and connect rates.  

Colour's don't work with software blitters which bypass the line-A 
routines.  Also colour's are not restored at all points.  Basically the 
video fossil emulator needs a complete overhaul.
