  * Add initial CR/LF to trace files when appending

APUART
  * allow very low baud rates, down to 10 baud

APXMODEM/OOXMODEM
  * removed "10-char per call to ProtocolReceivePart" limit

APZMODEM/OOZMODEM
  * handle data after hex headers

APFAXCVT/OOFAXCVT
  - added support for BMP monochrome graphics files
  * added more TPRO/OPRO conditional compilation directives
  * various speed improvements
  - added convert/unpack support for high width faxes

APFAX12/OOFAX12
  - added send/receive support for high width faxes

CVT2FAX/CVT2FAXO
  - added command line switch for high width faxes

SHOWFAX/SHOWFAXO
  - added option to rotate display 180 degrees


Bugs Fixed
---------------------------------------------------------------------

APUART
  - GPF possible if uSetUart fails in uInitPort

APCOM/OOCOM
  - PutBlockDirect could transmit more data than requested

APFOSSIL/APDIGI14
  - Possible GPF when using ptBufferGetChar option
  - ecNoDevice error when calling PeekChar

APYMODEM/OOYMODEM
  - file access error when receiving files
  - can't open file error when receiving YmodemG from DSZ

APKERMIT/OOKERMIT
  - header checksum was skipped, behaved as if always correct

APCOMD
  - AppendTrace/AppendTraceHex missing from DLL declaration list
  - DLLs won't compile for certain valid APDEFINE configurations

TERMWIN
  - click on scroll arrow scrolled two lines instead of one
  - inadvertent blink in terminal window

APFAXCVT/OOFAXCVT
  - could lose file handle during some file errors
  - pad-to-end-of-page option worked only on last page of fax

APFAX12/OOFAX12
  - if cover page is APF, cover page was sent twice, instead of file
  - SessionBPS not updated after a class 1 retrain
  - when cover page is APF file it was always sent in low resolution
  - received faxes had receiver's station ID instead of sender's
  - GetModemFeatures could return non-zero AsyncStatus even if okay
  - would not abort when sending to incompatible device
  - GPF if class 1 faxmodem returns bad modulations
  - class 1 receive failures would fail to disconnect with some faxmodems

APFAXPRN/OOFAXPRN
  - GPF/memory overwrite if physical error during printing

APZIP/OOZIP
  - Out-of-memory error during compress wasn't treated as fatal
  - Can't dearchive PKZIP-created archives containing subdirectories

COMTESTO
  - ignored last command line parameter
