2.      Corrected the “Message too big” error message by telling the Host the size of the packets to send.

Version 5.1.8

1.      Fixed the setting and saving for the auto-size font. In version 5.1.7 it could not be turned off.

1.      READHOST can now read the maximum allowed in a string variable (1000 bytes in WIN32, 80 in WIN16)

2.      Change the Serial reads for Win32 to use the recommended IO from Microsoft.

Version 5.1.5

1.      Allowed for more text in an incoming NS message (Ns queue problem) .

Version 5.1.4

1.      Fix Font Problem in 680 X 480 where the largest size was not being remembered.

2.      Fixed Problem with the changing from VT mode with bar button to HP mode and back hanging the system.

Version 5.1.3

1.      Fix VT mode clear screen command should ignore top and bottom scrolling region margins when doing a clear screen unlike HP mode.

2.      About MiniSoft 92 dialog box. A short timer was being checked, It should not check a timer, but waits for user to press "OK"

3.      Fix for typeahead. The typeahead will not take effect until a DC1 trigger has been sent from the host. This allows the typeahead to be set and still you can still type commands to the modem.       

4.      Pasting in UNIX would not work. Pasting was based on receiving a DC1 trigger. Unix systems do not use a DC1 as a trigger. We now check to see that a DC1 has been sent from the host and if it has not we assume that we are on a host with a typeahead buffer (UNIX, not MPE) and will not wait for a DC1.

Version 5.1.2

ENHANCEMENTS

1.      "Bypass Windows Scrolling" has been added to the Screen menu. It is for PCs that drop network packets that come in while the video card is scrolling. With this option set, we scroll by repainting the screen instead of using the PC's scrolling mechanism. For most video cards "Bypass Windows Scrolling" should not be selected.

2.      The number of columns has changed from 80, 132, or 200, to any range from 80 to 255. This changes how WS92 responds to the escape sequence that changes column widths. Sorry Window 3.1 users only have 80 to 132.

3.      The HP escape sequences <esc>&w6f80X and <esc>&w6f132X have been expanded to <esc>&w6f[n]X where n is any value between 80and 255.

4.      The script commands MICMD_80, MICMD_132, and MICMD_200 were not expanded, and were left for backward compatibility. A new script command was added, LOGCOLS [n], where n is the number of columns between 80 and 255.

5.      The number of rows was also changed from only having 24, 25, 28, and 40 rows, to any number of rows between 24 and 66. This resulted in a new script command, LOGROWS [n], where n is the number of rows.

6.      New Script commands:

·        HOSTPORT [n] - sets the telnet port to n.

·        LOGCOLS [n] - change width to N columns

·        LOGROWS [n] - change rows to N lines

·        NCONNECT [hostname] - make NSVT connection to the host with name hostname

·        TCONNECT [hostname] - make TELNET connection to the host with name hostname

7.      Variables can now hold up to 1000 characters instead of 80 characters.

8.      Window sizing was changed. Resizing due to font changes and/or column changes is no longer supported; instead the window will stay the same size. If the font or column requires a large window, the font or columns will change and scroll bars will be added to allow horizontal and/or vertical scrolling.

9.      The two window resizing icons on the right side of the bar have been replaced with two font icons.

The first one (large A) will bring up a Font Dialogue box that will allow the choosing of different fixed pitch fonts, with the option to change the Font Style.

In the dialogue box are two other options: Auto-size Font, and Squeeze 132-column font.

When Auto-size Font is selected, the font will be resized to fit the window. This will happen when the window is resized and/or the number of columns to be displayed changes.

If the window is too small for the selected font, a different font will be used.

When the window is made larger and/or the number of columns changes so the selected font will fit, the font will revert to the original selection.

If no font is found that will fit the window, a message will be displayed and the window size is not changed.

If Auto-size Font is not selected, the Font Size will be available.

If the selected size is larger than what can be displayed in the window, scroll bars will be added to the window.

Squeeze 132-column font should be used only with low-resolution display (640 X 480). This calls a special font that will be smaller in the last 20 columns so a full 132 columns can be displayed.  For the special font to be used this box must be checked, the display must be in 132 columns, and in the Config... Screen Configuration... 'Suppress Scroll Bar on Maximized Screen' must be selected.

10.   The second font icon (the smaller A) will select the correct font size for the window if Auto-size Font is not selected. This is on a one-time basis; it does not turn Auto Size on.

11.   "Confirm Quit" New switch labeled  'Confirm Quit'.

When selected will ask to confirm the quit when the X in the right top corner is selected. The Switch is in the Config...Special... configuration screen.

12.   Button Bar for 32-bit version.

The MS92 buttons are controlled by an .INI file called MS92B32.INI for 32 bit. This file  must be in the same directory as the WS92_32.EXE file. 

DEFECTS FIXED

1.      Fixed horizontal tab stops:

WS92 was not storing the configuration in any of the ANSI modes. The escape sequence  '<esc>[g' should clear the tab stop at the cursor position. The escape sequence  '<esc>H' should set a tab stop at the cursor position. 

The "Clear All Tabs" Sequence (<ESC> [3g) in VT did not clear all tab stops; instead it did the default configuration and set tab stops every 8 character positions. When all tab stops are cleared the cursor should move to the right margin, and it was not.

2.      Fixed U + umlaut:

The 24 X 7 font Win92 font 24/7 contains the wrong character ö (o umlaut) instead of ü (u umlaut). It was only that font size, which is activated on a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and when 132 Columns is selected. The German spelling would be wrong when this setting was used.

3.      Fixed using paste translation table:

SHIFT/INSERT appeared to work correctly, however Edit menu / Paste did not. The translation table PASTE_CH.TBL was not taken into account, as it should have been. The problem started in version 4.5.11.

4.      The Escape sequence <esc>&q4te1{0A was changing the return key value:

The <esc>&q8tel{0A escape sequence changed the return key definition to the decimal value of the character prior to the A. The <esc>&q4te1{0A escape sequence should not do anything in HP 700/92 emulation.
