A-Shell Development History

1. (WINDOWS) A-Shell can now run without ws2_32.dll (until/unless you call a function requiring a socket.)  This was the case under 4.6, but not with earlier 4.7 versions.

2. (WINDOWS) Improvements to image printing with the //IMAGE command. It now automatically trims the right and bottom image border as needed to fit the page.  It also displays detailed error messages if imaging errors occur during printing (where it would otherwise be impossible for you to trap the errors in your program.)  And, last but not least, you can now print images in landscape mode.

3. XCALL MIAMEX,113,SIZE,STATUS now allows you to change your main memory partition size.  SIZE should be specified in K (e.g. 500 = 500K). STATUS will be returned as 0 if successful.
