Short: Patch to update `term' v4.6 to v4.6a Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel Type: comm/term `term' v4.6a update =================== This patch addresses a number of problems in `term' v4.6, namely: - The hotkey panel did not accept control key codes. - The code that sets up the quick dial menu did not allocate enough room for the complete menu strip and thus could trash innocent memory. This was most likely the reason for the program termination crashes. - Added a tool type to suppress Workbench search path cloning. This might fix some deadly crashes connected with the program startup. The tooltype is "NOPATHFIX". The path cloning now only kicks in if the process `term' was launched from is in fact Workbench.
