Some internal revisions to the 9700 program and its associated terminal table have been made. The only user-interface difference is that the output now uses font code 003 (not 002) for boldface; 002 is reserved for italics, to be implemented shortly. The one other addition of significance is that 9700 now sends mail to adm to aid in accounting.

Out of curiousity, I tried running the C profiler on 9700(1) to find out what makes it so slow. It was spending most of its time clearing its internal data structures; I made some simple changes to that piece of code and the program now runs 3-4 times as fast as it used to.

Minor revisions to the 9700 filter: turns out it costs money to change font selections, so the alteration in font codes done a while ago has been reversed.
