1. (UNIX) SET.LIT 1.0(123) now supports an option to change the FKEYWAIT value on a job by job basis, thus eliminating the need for all terminals to slow down just to accomodate one particularly slow terminal. (See notes below under edit 744-1 for more information on FKEYWAIT.)

 

2. A new miame.ini option, SBR=AXLOCK, forces A-Shell to emulate a bug in the AMOS implementation of XLOCK in which a request for a wildcard lock (i.e. X,0) would appear to succeed even though it didn't, due to a conflicting lock (X,Y) placed earlier by the same job. This bug was fixed in edit 740 (see notes below) but apparently some people were depending on it.

 

3. The dependency on PSCDLL.DLL in A-Shell/Windows (a problem in edit 750) has been eliminated.
