[comp.windows.ms] WinQVT 3.2 and MS Windows 2.1

Here's a follow up on a message about problems folks have been having
running WinQVT 3.2 (shareware VT100/220 emulator) hanging under
Windows 2.1.  I wrote the folks at QPC Software who market the
program and they replied in an amazingly short time!  I'm passing on
their information:

	"What you are experiencing is a problem that is present with
	all versions of WinQVT prior to 3.3 when used under Windows
	2.1.  Between 2.03 and 2.1, Microsoft changed something in
	their code which caused the 'TransmitCommChar' function to
	stop working.  Therefore, all versions of WinQVT from 3.3 and
	above use 'WriteComm' instead."

They say that the current version of WinQVT is 3.6, and it has
refinements over 3.2.  It is available at serveral locations
including Compuserve and also by writing to:

	QPC Software
	P.O.Box 226
	Penfield, NY 14526

By the way, how do we go about updating the copy of WinQVT32 that is
on SIMTEL20?
