Short:        Improved L:port-handler (41.4)
Uploader:     stephan rupprecht gmx de
Type:         util/sys
Architecture: m68k-amigaos
Auhor:        Stephan Rupprecht <stephan.rupprecht@gmx.de>

port-handler v41 replaces the original l:port-handler that manages
the AmigaDOS devices SERx:, PAR: and PRT:. In opposite to the original
handler my version allows you to create new dos devices that can
manage the ports of an i/o-board (pre v41 port-handlers didn't support
third-party parallel.devices).

HISTORY SINCE LAST UPLOAD
41.4  bug: handler no longer terminates before ACTION_DIE/CLOSE
      arrives. Before the handler could terminate itself although it 
      was still in use, this caused certain programs to wait forever 
      (eg GoldEd) <Thomas Richter>.
      bug: handler messed up double-buffered packets.
      imp: added a timeout timer of 30seks.
