This is the "official" release of FidoTerm, August 1992. It contains
many new features, is considerably faster, supports ANSI colors, an
enhanced script language (including pre-compilation for brutal speed),
contains true Bit Error Rate (BERT) commands, and is all around a
better program than before. Most of the supplied script files have
been improved.

It also has a substantially improved manual. You should buy it. It's
cheap, and far more readable than the .MAN file included in this
release.

FidoTerm now automatically detects the presence of a FOSSIL driver.
If one is present, it is used. If not, FidoTerm uses it's own integral
driver. (There are no longer two different versions of the program.)

If you want a customized version of this program please contact me.
