20) Jim Robinson ([e-mail])
    FIXES. rcfile.c - change_rcfile() when 'q' or 'ESC' are used to
           exist, SIGTSTP disposition is is not being reset to it's
           status upon enterring the routine, as is done when exiting
           routine otherwise.
           art.c - parse_header() stopped from being interrupted by
           SIGALRM signal.
           curses.c - ReadCh() code for READ_CHAR_HACK was wrong. On
           EOF or error getc() returns EOF, but code loop checks for 0.
    ENHANCEMENTS curses.c - InitScreen() if terminal has no inverse
           will now use underline.

           killing or auto-selection of articles.

           of sigaction() vs signal() which *greatly* enhances readability
           in places.
           signal.c - Changed handling of SIGTSP. Now when SIGTSTP is
           caught we simply send ourself a SIGSTOP which is uncatchable.
           active.c -  notify_groups() now runs in raw mode.
           kill.c art.c - killing is now done by marking article as unread.
           This means that index files are now *not* modified on the basis
           of kills.

           deleted.
