                 Description of enhancements and bug fixes
                 -----------------------------------------
          1). This is the first release since version 1.0. Version
              2.0 was never released.

          2). Dynamic buffers. Each re-directed printers buffer may be
              dynamically changed. In otherwords, you may start off with
              the default 4k buffer for LPT1 and change to 32k, then
              change back to 8k (or 0 to disable printer). We dont know of
              any similar product that allows this. Memory MUST be available
              to allow this. Going from a large buffer to smaller should
              be NO problem, but getting memory when going from a small
              buffer to large WILL be dependant on the current application
              that is running (if its freed all memory it dosnt need).

           3). POP-UP over graphics mode applications (in their mode).
               If allowed , LPTz will pop-up over current graphics
               applications, in the current graphics mode. This is NO small
               feat. We have seen no other products that do what we do, that
               allow you to pop-up over graphics apps. This is our FIRST
               attempt at graphics (even though we have an original IBM PC
               with 1982 BIOS). We dont have ALL the answers for LPTz in this
               release, BUT released it hoping for feedback (constructive).

               See the '-G' option in the documentation.

               Graphics modes for CGA/EGA/VGA are supported. Hercules is not.



            If you have feedback, please use the 'comments' form in the doc.
