- Manual Update Since Version 4.824
- =================================
-
- VLT 4.846
- =========
-
- Page 9, paragraph 2:
- ----------------------
- Change "vlt4p834.lzh" to "vlt4p824.lzh".
-
- Page 10, points 10 and 11:
- ---------------------------
- The destination for the two copy commands described in these
- two points should be "df0:".
-
- Page 25, Communications Menu:
- Page 27, Strip Bit 8:
- ------------------------------
- Change all occurrences of the text "Strip Bit 8" to "Strip 8th Bit".
-
- Page 38-39, Select Screen Type (Tektronix):
- --------------------------------------------
- Add a new paragraph after the first four lines on page 39:
- " The last sub-item, 'Double-Sized Custom', changes the screen to a
- Custom screen that has twice the width and height of the usual custom
- screen. You can scroll around this screen by dragging the mouse to the
- edges of the screen that are currently not shown, or you can hold down
- the left Amiga key and drag the screen using the left mouse button.
- Note: this option only works under AmigaDOS 2.0, and only if you have
- sufficient graphics memory. An 8-color, 1400 by 960 screen takes about
- half a Megabyte of graphics memory! If you get a message saying that
- the screen couldn't be opened, try first changing to fewer colors.
- This option is a toggle. When you select it again, the screen reverts to
- the regular screen size. It has the keyboard abbreviation right-Amiga D."
-
- Page 69-70, COLOR command:
- --------------------------
- Add the following lines just after the description of the
- COLOR command:
- "COLOR REQuest
- Causes the VLT color requester to open on VLT's screen. The command
- will only return when the user has completed his color selection."

- Bug Fixes Since Version 4.824
- =============================
-
- VLT 4.846
- =========
-
- VT100 section
- -------------
-
- The following bugs were fixed. Most bugs were newly introduced into
- 4.824, only one or two were old bugs.
- - When programming function keys etc. to execute .scp or.vlt scripts,
- the recognition of ".scp" or ".vlt" used to be case sensitive. This
- is no longer the case. This is an old bug.
- - The minimum VLT window size, when used on the Workbench, was increased
- in order to allow access to all the usual titlebar gadgets.
- - There was a possibility for VLT to crash when a second VLT was started up,
- shortly after the message "But I'm already here" appeared. This has been
- fixed.
- - When function keys 41 through 50 are programmed from a script or from
- ARexx, the menu bar is now properly updated.
- - The code cleaning up after expired schedules was improved somewhat. It
- used to cause a certain sluggishness when a very large number of scripts
- were started.
- - A problem with the message window not being the correct size when a file
- transfer is started when a smaller message window is already open was fixed.
- - The menu option "Set Break Time" now allows specifying times larger than
- 65535 microseconds.
- - The menu option "Strip Bit 8" was renamed to "Strip 8th Bit" to correctly
- reflect its function.
- - The "Beep Volume" menu option was fixed to allow negative volume settings
- conform the documentation.
- - The "Parity" selection menu was fixed. A bug was introduced into 4.824
- that caused some parity selections to be improperly transferred to the
- parity selection routine in the serial device handling code.
- - A check was added to prevent VLT from using the new scaled fonts under
- AmigaDOS 2.0
-
- Tektronix section
- -----------------
-
- The following bugs were fixed in the Tektronix code.
- - The eol string was sent twice on some reports to the host.
- - Saving the screen contents as an IFF file would cause strange results
- when using particularly large screens.
