Hi,

Ich habe gerade die Version 1.2 von Gemterm aufs atari.archiv geladen. Es 
findet sich alles in "gemtrm12.zoo".

Ein kurzer Ueberblick ueber die Neuerungen:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since Gemterm V1.0

- Gemterm now checks wether GDOS is loaded or not. V1.0 crashed if there was no
  GDOS.
- The font selector now knows about the number of fonts installed. This should 
  correct a bug that disabled font selection in some cases.

Since Gemterm V1.1

- Gemterm now runs also as application.
- Gemterm now supports the TOSRUN pipe.
- A small TOS startup program that launches TTPs inside a new window is 
  included.
- The current working directory is now also a parameter for a program that
  should be launched in a window.
- Gemterm now knows about the environment variables "GEMTERMINF", "GEMTERMTTY", 
  "GEMTERMAPPL" and "GEMTERMWINS". "GEMTERMINF" sets the path and the filename 
  of the configuration file. "GEMTERMTTY" selects the device that is 
  connected to the tty window. "GEMTERMAPPL" denotes the main application that
  Gemterm wants to talk to via the VA protocol and "GEMTERMWINS" adjusts the
  maximum number of term window during startup.
- Gemterm reads the environment variables "SHELL" and "HOME" for its default
  configuration.
- Bug-reports should be much easier, if you recompile Gemterm with the -DDEBUG
  option in case of crashes. With this option Gemterm traces all its actions to
  stderr.
- A bug that hang GEM, when activating window-arrows with a very high 
  frequentcy should be fixed. (No more additional WM_REDRAW message from 
  Gemterm to itself, but instant redrawing.)
