| APPX/Mainframe: Better recovery from some types of invalid
| handshakes. Correction of abend which would occur when the
| APPX session was using the default compression routine, and

| CFXWHLL3 and CFXRUMB3 (ATB/NT): corrected ETB processing
| in GET_BLOCK.
|
| CFXDVCST: (.H, .ASM): device specific status structure header
| files updated for new drivers and synchronized. Note: some
| names have been changed to more logical and consistant ones,
| add a "#define DST_OBS_DEFS" line before the #include of
| CFXDVCST.H to generate the old names (as well as the new
| names). It is suggested that all use of the old names be
| changed to the new names. See CFXDVCST.H for more details.
|
| XAPI trace (ATB/Windows) now correctly deals with multiple
| conncurrent XAPI sessions. XAPITRAC.EXE updated.
----------+------------------------------------------------------------------
11/10/95 | Support for async hardware flow control and new line speeds
| added to the following device drivers:
| DOS:
| CFXDECX.BIN

|
| Several of the DOS drivers also received a fix to
| reopen processing, where trace data was being lost
| across re-opens.
|
| WINDOWS:
| CFXDECX.DLL
| CFX220X.DLL
| CFXPROX.DLL
| CFXTYMX.DLL
|
| XAPI and CFXDIAL/DIALOG/CFXDIALG/DIALOGG: related changes
| (control block parameters and statements).
|
| MAINCON: new configuration options for 5250 and hardware
| flow control.
----------+------------------------------------------------------------------
11/13/95 | ATB/OS2: CFXPROX, CFXDECX and CFXTYMX: corrected GET_QUIET
| processing - was sometimes returning before the output queue
| was completely drained.
----------+------------------------------------------------------------------
11/14/95 | CFXAPI, all three environments: XAPI's prior to this
| version could spuriously report that EABs were available
| in the presentation space with some drivers. Applications
| (including DIALOG) that requested EABs based on this report
| could fail with a "033: No EABS available" message.
|
| APPX: Stats are now clear at connect instead of at disconnect,
| this allows the stats to be accessed after the disconnect occurs.
|
| Added 01/08/96:
| APPX: Stats now include compression method in use. Improved
| recovery when a non-SF item is received in an SF session (adds
| message 281).
----------+------------------------------------------------------------------
11/23/95 | XAPI/Windows:devices 84, 91 and 92 were not merging the host

----------+------------------------------------------------------------------
12/05/95 | OS/2 CFXDECX, CFXPROX, CFXTYMX: Hardware flow control, new baud
| rates, corrected trace-loss at re-open.
|
| CFXTTYX (DOS): was not properly returning length from get-block,
| resulting in APPX trace errors.
|
| XAPI (DOS/Windows/OS2): new fields to allow configuration of
| XON/XOFF and hardware flow control.
|
| DOS, Windows, OS2: Except for CFXTYMX (Windows) and CFXTTYX, all
| async drivers now support CLEARBUF.
|
| APPX: Some communications errors were formerly reported as
| "compression" errors (#276). In some cases traces of non-ACO
| sessions contained ACO trace tags, leading to trace formatting
| errors. APPX will now wait for a keyboard-free condition before
| sending the first block or transaction code.
|
| DIALOG/CFXDIAL (DOS/OS2): Send-key performance improved.
|
| XAPI/Windows: version of WBN based drivers was not being checked
| correctly.
----------+------------------------------------------------------------------
12/12/95 | APPX: Corrected OS/2 trace problems.
|
| APPXTRAC: filters added.
----------+------------------------------------------------------------------

| (51) CFXDN22 - DECNET/Pathworks VT220 (Windows)
| (87) CFXT2IO - TELNET VT220 IBM TCP/IP/OS2 (OS/2)
| (88) CFXT2FO - TELNET VT220 FTP/PC/TCP/OS2 (OS/2)
| (89) CFXT2LO - TELNET VT220 Novell LWP/OS2 (OS/2)
| (93) CFXT2WS3 - TELNET VT220 Win32Sockets (NT)
| (94) CFX220X3 - WOW VT220 async (NT)
|
| CFXDN22 continues to be based on the old code-base.
|
| The new 220 drivers correct bugs, add support for "Set-Up" mode,
| TELNET negotiation is now more standard.
|

| dates prior to 12/19/95 must upgrade both driver and XAPI
| versions to 12/19/95 versions simultaniously.
