Subject: New rev "pine 3.93"

Hi Nick: 
   This is Ralph Finello, President of Gainesville Commodore User Group.
(GCUG)...  My Novaterm 9.5 Registry number is #290. 
   The "CLUB" members were all using 9.5 with great success!!! However
our "Alachua Freenet" in Gainesville Fl has just incorporated Pine 3.93 (was
using Pine 3.92)!!!  Now "Novaterm 9.5" can not access Pine, and any attempt
to access it crashes Novaterm.
   Note, modules VT 102, Ansi/VT, and Font80.VT102/52 are all embedded in
the PRG.

   What happens is the "freenet menu" has several ways to get into Pine...
All of the ways crash "9.5" in the same way!!!
   
   By experimenting, I have found a way to enter "PINE" and once in, there
is no noticeable difference in the mechanics.  It is done as follows:
           
      After loading Novaterm 9.5, go to"terminal parameters" and change the
 terminal type to "ANSI/40col" and then loggin.  The screen will be in 40
columns.  Follow the prompts in the normal way,  access PINE in any of the
ways that are normal.  Once the access is made, go back to terminal type and
replace "VT102" and all operations will be back to normal...

      I also use a PC and there is no apparent difference in the operation
since the update.

      I use Procom Plus and the default type is VT100.

      I suspect something was omitted when the update to "PINE 3.93" was
made.
      I am  carbon coping the freenet Administration as you may have
noticed.
 
      This correspondence to you is mainly FYI and possible help and may be
useful for your next rev of Novaterm.  I read some where it is going to be a
cartridge.

      Please acknowledge/answer your receipt of this message.
