faq:
----
q  why is is the screen output a bit slower under windows95 than nt or
   os/2?
a  it seems like windows doesn't give high priority to 32bit console mode
   screen writes, theres nothing i can do to speed it up

q  why is the windows version executable larger than the os/2 version?
a  the os/2 version is compressed with LX level 2 compression which the os/2
   kernel decompresses at runtime, windows doesn't have a native executable
   compression method

whatsnew:

   december 26, 1998 (beta 5)
   -----------------
x  updated the alt-z help screens
x  fixed a problem where ctrl-s, ctrl-d and ctrl-p couldn't be inputted
   in the os/2 version
x  turned off that annoying flashing mouse cursor in the win32 version
x  added new commandline parameters: -q = exit mtelnet after
   disconnect, -h = commandline help
x  fixed the caps-lock problem in the win32 version where it would
   "shift" the numbers/punctuation.  (this is actually a bug in the
   win32 api: ReadConsoleInput)
x  fixed extra linefeeds in vt1xx emulation (most noticably using
   "screen" under *nix)
x  it now accepts a telnet url-format commandline parameter so you
   can use mtelnet with your favorite browser.
x  alt-e local echo toggle fixed
x  changed the phonebook a bit
x  echo problem with COM/IP can be fixed by adding "S1003=7" to the
   init string.  (this is a bug in COM/IP, not mtelnet!)

   october 10, 1998 (beta 4 release #2)
   ----------------
x  fixed ascii uploading
x  shift-page up and page down now work as vt100/102 pg up/down keys
   (pg up w/no shift is upload)
x  the home key now sends the correct ansi "home" sequence

   october 4, 1998 (beta 4)
   ---------------
x  page up / page down support in the phonebook
x  several cosmetic fixes, some things look nicer
x  "hide passwords" now hides passwords in the phonebook editor
x  vt100 page up/page down implemented, hold shift for a page up
x  fixed a problem where sometimes (rarely) the phonebook editor would
   get out-of-sync
x  fixed ctrl-c in the win32 version
x  shift-insert in the windows version pastes the clipboard, since for some
   reason i couldn't get it to work with 'paste' on the win95 toolbar..
