  Hello, we have written several updates/fixes/extra features for 
tn5250.  We would like to contribute these patches back to the 
community.  Some may be specific to our company only, but most are 
generic.  Most are for the 'windows' version (winterm.c) but also work 
under wine.

These include:
Auto update function. (GUP integration)
Destructive Backspace option
Toggle for Destructive Backspace and
Toggle for PC/ Terminal switch. (switches ctrl and enter keys)
Crosshairs Menu, which toggles horizontal, vertical, or both crosshairs.
Fixed a PrintScreen Key issue on wine/linux.
Some improvements to the 'walking' problem with switching between 132 
and 80 column non-maximized.
Added tc5250rc file switches to accommodate all of these changes.  
Including one that disables the update function.  We are actually 
running tn5250 on linux using wine, because the windows version is just 
so much better than the linux version with regard to fonts.
SetupSettingsFile option which calls an HTA application (real windows 
only) that sets up the tn5250rc file specific to our needs 
automatically.  Will not be including this file, but I will leave the 
function in.  If need be I can send a stripped down HTA if you would 
like a template.

There may be another fix or two in there as well.
Anyways, what I want to know, is how do we send these to Scott/James ? 
for review and possibly added to the code for future versions?  If the 
current maintainer would email me so we can discuss the best method.

Thanks,
Matt
