NovaTerm 4.04 for Windows
Release Notes


New NovaTerm Features
*	Holding down the Option key while clicking Reply to a message, will quote the 
	contents of the original message, even if this option is turned on in NovaTerm's 
	Preferences.

*	There is now a Private Chat option in the Users menu. Choosing Private Chat 
	allows you to start a chat without creating a named chat room. In a Private Chat, only the 
	person who initiated the chat can invite new people.

*	When using modems, NovaTerm now alerts the user if the selected modem port is 
	in use by another application. NovaTerm gives the user an option to try using the port 
	anyway. Depending on the other application's behavior, NovaTerm may or may not be able 
	to use the port successfully.

*	When saving web pages, NovaTerm now saves the orginal location of the document
	source. This enables relative URLs.


Known Problems
*	NovaServer does not support file attachments in Internet e-mail.

*	NovaTerm for Windows does not work with some Winsock implementations. We 
	strongly recommend Microsoft's implementation. Currently, there is no known PPP dial-
	up solution for Windows 3.1 and 3.11, as none of the Winsock versions that offer these 
	capabilities are currently supported. We hope to offer support for these versions in a later 
	release. The Microsoft Windows 95 PPP dial-up solution does work with NovaTerm 4.04.

*	Sometimes NovaTerm gets a refused TCP connection after disconnecting from a previous
	online session. The workaround is to quit NovaTerm and relaunch it.

*	Read option in the Messages pull down menu does not function. To read a message
	you must either double click on the message or highlight it and click the Read button.

*	Alt+F4 quits application instead of closing windows.

*	Pressing skip in the file transfer window (using windows 3.1) can bring up a bogus sharing
	violation alert. Clicking cancel will close the alert.

*	File sizes are not displayed correctly in the file transfer window. This also affects the estimated
	transfer times.

*	Auto opened received files stay in the background on Windows 3.1. Minimize NovaTerm
	to view the downloaded item.

	messages.

	of a message depending on whether the user tabbed or clicked to enter the body.

	long as NovaTerm is not currently connected.)

1421	When selecting an item in the mailbox list and clicking Reply, NovaTerm now 
	includes the appropriate subject line. (NovaTerm does not, however, quote the contents of 
	the message, even if that option is selected in the preferences or the option key is held

	95.

	the user attempts to resize them.
