I got the following off Compuserve, and I know it will be of great
interest to many of you on the net.

      Antic announces FLASH 1.5, the successor to the immensely popular

      Faster operation.

Enhanced ANSI [VT100] terminal emulation:
      Graphic [ine-drawing] character set.
      True underlining of text.
      Full documentation of supported escape sequences.

Additional file transfer protocols:

      EXECUTE command lets you run TOS and GEM programs from within
        FLASH [e.g. ARC.TTP, command shells, or GEM applications 
        like Arcshell and even 1st Word].
      Log text to capture buffer.
      FREE command free's memory that the capture buffer has taken.
