[comp.sys.amiga] VT100 2.8a problem

I have found another (minor) 2.8A problem.  Try to assign a shortcut
key to xmodemCRC.  It gets assigned to xmodem.  It appears as if
something like the following is happening:

        switch (read_init_file()){
                case ASC: assign_key_stuff();
                          break;
                case  KE: assign_key_stuff();
                          break;
                case XMC: assign_key_stuff();

                case  XM: assign_key_stuff();
                          break;
                default:  complain();
                          break;
                }

The effect is like a missing break statement such that the letter to
be assigned to XMC falls through and is assigned to XM.

Also, would you consider changing the xmodem info window so that the
title reflected whether the CRC or checksum protocol was being used.
For one set of work I need to be switching back and forth between
the two, and it would help to know that I was at least beginning
with the correct protocol.

Thanks again.

Sorry, I've been on vacation for a LONG while and just saw this.

Correct!  It was a coding error which has been fixed in 2.9.  No, 2.9 is
NOT out yet.

Good idea.  I'll try to remember to incorporate this change when I get
back to my machine.
