The makefile now works for Linux and most Unix's. Howevr, for Solaris
and MacOS, you must first export the OSTYPE environment variable:
> export OSTYPE
> make
Otherwise, you will get build errors.

The source set has been extensively overhauled. For correct
viewing, set Visual C++ or Emacs to have tab stops every 4
characters.

1.3.1 All ASCII terminals
- Most ASCII terminal emulators have supported 7-bit and 8-bit
operation; where required, they have also supported an upper-
case only or KSR-emulation mode. This release adds a new mode,
7P, for 7-bit printing characters. In 7P mode, non-printing
characters in the range 0-31 (decimal), and 127 (decimal), are
automatically suppressed. This prevents printing of fill
characters under Windows.
The printable character set for ASCII code values 0-31 can be
changed with the SET CONSOLE PCHAR command. Code value 127
(DELETE) is always suppressed.
1.3.2 VAX-11/780
- First release. The VAX-11/780 has successfully run VMS V7.2. The
commercial instructions and compatability mode have not been
extensively tested. The Ethernet controller is not working yet
and is disabled.
