04b.p10:
========

I am releasing this version with a several known bugs, and I'm sure many
more unknown bugs. Many of the bugs which were present in the first two
releases have been killed, but I am sure there are more, including these:

     o  YModem uploading is broken. I have been delaying this release for
        sometime while I try to fix this bug. I am very close, but did not
        want to delay this release any longer with this being the only
        major [known] bug left. Downloading has worked great for me
        however. When I get the uploading fixed, I will release a patch
        version -- hopefully not too long after I make this release.

     o  When running PTerm full screen, the cursor often disappears for
        long periods of time. I cannot help but think this is a bug in NT
        since the does not happen when PTerm is run in windowed mode.

     o  *Very* young and untested CIS Quick-B code has been included in
        this version PTerm. I have had a couple of sucessful downloads
        with this code, but have not even attempted an upload. This code
        will get better in future releases, for now you should probably
        pretend its not there (unless you like experimenting).

     o  ANSI aupport may still be a bit weak. I have come to find out
        that it will be nearly (if not completely) impossible to fully
        implement VT100/220 emulation while PTerm remains a console
        application. As such, this will be the last _major_ release of
        PTerm as a console application -- PTerm will be going full GUI at
        some point in the future. I will continue to make patch releases
        of this version however. But, don't expect the VT100 support in
        the console version to get much better. ANSI color support seems
        to work great, but when calling Unix boxes with VT100 emulation
        PTerm can get baffled pretty quickly.


Well, them's the major ones I have found so far. Please report others
to me as necessary.

Some 'features' to watch out for:

     o  The TELNET support is still VERY young, and several facets are
        still being worked out. Please report any problems you have with
        this! If you really need a solid telnet for NT, get WinQVT for
        Windows NT.

     o  Once PTERM quits, it closes the serial port, and if the modem on
        this serial port is currently connected to somewhere, that
        connection will be lost (since closing the serial port drops
        DTR). You may be able to prevent this by setting your modem to
        always hold DTR high, but this will have the side effect of
        preventing ALT-H from hanging up the connection. Note that if you
        try to exit PTerm while on line, PTerm will ask if you want to
        hang up and exit, if you say no you are left online and PTerm does
        not exit.
