comm/term

   AmiTEL v2.1b is an emulation software for the norm Videotex CEPT2 used on
the French network Teletel (also Brazilian/Greco Network) and by a lot of BBS
RTC.

   The main originality of this emulator is the fact of its emulating
the main functions of a Minitel M1b in a window using the graphics.library
to make better the graphic interface (keeping original WorkBench colors)
and the speed of the emulation (3.5 times faster than previous versions).

   A lot of improvements since the previous release :
   - Adding ARexx commands REQINFO, REQSTRING and REQFILE to use Requesters
     in ARexx scripts.
   - Adding ARexx command GET to get string displayed on screen.
   - ARexx command SENDFILE modification with parameters AMIGA and MINITEL
     added.
   - Open serial device modification (output openning only without shared
     mode).
   - Bug corrected in Minitel's function keys (thanck's for BC 109's bug
     report).
   - Adding one line copy/paste with Shift + left mouse button.
   - copy/paste modification to use accentuation chars.
   - Adding NOSTATUS (no status window) and NOENTER (Enter key equal ENVOI
     Minitel key) parameters.
   - ABOUT gadget is now a real image gadget.
   - Possible use on more than 8 colors Workbench screen and adding COLOR16
     parameter to use AmiTEL's public screen with 16 colors (great for
     A1200/4000 users).
   - CAPSLOCK key no more equal to SHIFT key for Minitel function keys.
   - Adding control codes (^a to ^_) and timout delay of 1 second (~) in
     configuration modem sequences ('ATZ^m','~+++~~~','ATH^m' and 'ATDT' by
     default) and in function keys (Macros).
   - Create double height, width and size font with original font (thanck's
     Olivier).
   - Used SDCMD_QUERY and IO_STATUS to detect carrier.
   - Automatical detection of Workbench mode (Interlace or not) and adding
     INTERLACE parameter to use AmiTEL on an interlace public screen.
   - Adding TOPAZ parameter to use Topaz 8 font for gadgets.
   - Printing is now only possible on parallel printer.
   - ASCII capture modification : Current page saving is now doing when
     function key used and no more when screen cleared.
   - 'CSI m' bug removed in Mixte Mode.
   - OwnDevUnit library support to lock serial.device.
   - Default directory for AmiTEL's ARexx script (*.AMTL) is only REXX:
   - Added loading and saving several Config/Phonebook/Macros files.
   - New true DoubleClick in Phonebook ListView (Hi Fabrice :-).
   - NOSTATUS option display Status informations in window titlebar.
   - Automatical detection of Workbench mode improved and INTERLACE
     parameter must be used.
