This build is better.  I think the only problem I have is the +resize fonts
thing as every time I go from 80 to 132 cols view the switch is fine,
however whenever I want to comeback from 132 to 80 cols strange things
happen, which include:

        -Window not returning to 80 cols format
        -Window getting very short and fat on the desktop
        -Repeated switches from 80->132->80->132 causes window to get
increasingly
smaller(really shorter and       fatter on the screen) until it reaches an
unreadable state where a manual resize is required.

One question also:  Because of the improved cut/paste functionality in the
win binary do we loose the old select and paste capabilities of xterm?  Do
not get me wrong rectangular region selection is a definite plus but the
automatic copy of selection and paste on right click was a great feature
that I abused daily and would really like to see carried forward.

Hello,

I've made a new binary install of TN5250.  I havent worked on improving
the behavior of +resize_fonts yet, that will be a difficult project, so
I'm going to wait until after the 0.16.4 release.

The new install is at:

          http://klement.dstorm.net/tn5250/tn5250-0.16.3w-setup.exe


Here's what I've done to this version:

  -- Included workarounds for CCSID 870 being incorrectly mapped by
       the transmaps.h  (thanks to Marek Bajon for giving me the
       info I needed to make this work)

     Since transmaps.h is a file that's generated by a shell script,
     I didn't actually change it there, but added a workaround to
     the program that uses it.

  -- Added a program that's run during by the installer which asks
     for the char map that you'd like to make your default.
     (thanks to Martin Rowe for the suggestion)

  -- Changed the default font to Courier New.   However, if you
     selected CCSID 37 during install, it will override this to
     Terminal in the installer program.   The reason for this
     is that Courier New works in more countries and with more
     char sets, but Terminal looks nicer (IMHO)

  -- Changed the +ruler option so that it doesn't "clip" the cursor,
     but instead intersects to the bottom-left corner of the cursor.
     Thanks to Marek Bajon for the suggestion.

  -- Changed the default color of the rule lines produced by +ruler
     so that they are red.  I added the option "ruler_color" to
     allow you to change the color.  example:
             tn5250 +ruler ruler_color=#FFFFFF as400.example.com

  -- Added the "caret_style" keyword to allow you to change the
     appearance of the cursor.  (technically, according to Microsoft
     the "cursor" is where the mouse points, the "caret" is where
     text is inserted, so I called it "caret_style")

     Options for this are block, blink and line.  So, you wanted
     your caret to blink, you'd type:

           tn5250 caret_style=blink as400.example.com

     If you prefer an underscore as a cursor (err, I mean caret):

           tn5250 caret_style=line as400.example.com

  -- Added the "colsep_style" keyword to allow you to change the
     way column separators are displayed.

     Options for this are: full, dots and none.

     For example, if you wanted the "dots at the bottom" style
     of column separator, try this:

           tn5250 colsep_style=dots as400.example.com



I think that's everything...  let me know what you think!
