        =================================================================
        BUG TITLE:  12610   FILE TRUNCATION IN 69 PAGE FILE AFTER 2ND 
        PRINTING, 0 EMS FF XMS.
        
        FIX  DETAIL:   When saving a new file WordStar copies the before 
        file to the new file name, in doing so got the size of the before 
        file wrong. As a result a large chunk in the center of the file 
        was never copied.
        
        
        MODULES CHANGED:    NWSAVE.ASM
        
        TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:  Test saving files.

        BUG TITLE:  (#12633) ^OK problems in low memory conditions
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwrun.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Changed window deallocation routine to not reset 
        WIINIT bit if window was in use.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Retest.  Only happened when second window 
        was in use and speller allocation tried to get rid of window 
        memory (which means window memory wasn't in EMS/XMS).
        

	Titles of Bugs Fixed/Changes Made:
        
        * (#12625) Foreign language thesauris don't initialize properly 
        after US or UK thesaurus.
        
        
        Summaries of Fixes/Changes:

        BUG TITLE:  (#12625) Foreign language thesauris don't initialize 
        properly after US or UK thesaurus.
        
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwthes.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Changed memory requirements and checks for memory in 
        thesaurus initialization.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Test all foreign language thesauri.  Just 
        that they come up and can display words should be enough.  US and 
        UK thesaurus overlays are different from the other languages, and 
        had slightly different memory requirements.

Summaries of Fixes/Changes:
=================================================================
BUG TITLE: * 12410 FUNNY CURSOR WITH EGA UNDERLINE & COLOR

FIX  DETAIL:   change cursor from 'egacur' to 'undcur' to make 
ega with underlining the same as vga with underlining.

MODULES CHANGED:    ibm.flg

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:  Test EGA with underlining option in both 
WINSTALL and WSCHANGE. Make sure cursor size (user area label 
CURSIZ) is the same after each install.


=================================================================
BUG TITLE:  12526 EGA W/UNDERLINING AND STD. COLOR DISPLAY GETS 
NO TEXT

FIX  DETAIL:   none

MODULES CHANGED:    none

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:  defer. To use color with underlining type 
monitor installs, use color #2. 'Select Colors Individually' de-
scribes what occurs to colors for underlining monitors.


=================================================================
BUG TITLE:  12267 PATCH.LST: WRONG LIST INCLUDED IN RELEASE...

FIX  DETAIL:   Make PATCH.LST from sources. Update address'.

MODULES CHANGED:    PATCHLST.EXE

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:  Uncompress PATCHLST.EXE to PATCH.LST. 
Note update to addresses.


=================================================================
BUG TITLE:  12461 NO CURSOR WITH WINSTALL/WSCHANGE VGA 50 LINE 
MONITOR THEN MONO

FIX  DETAIL:   none

MODULES CHANGED:    none

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:  defer. Standard Monochrome install de-
signed for MDA type monitors only, not EGA/VGA. Standard install 
for EGA/VGA defaults with attributes that can be used on EGA/VGA 
monochrome monitors.


=================================================================
BUG TITLE:  12390 WHEN I TRY TO RUN SORT IT LOCKS UP SYSTEM


FIX  DETAIL:   Move dsuser2 to correct position in OBJ list.


MODULES CHANGED:    maillist.mak

TESTING  REQUIREMENTS:  File comparison between WSLIST.COM from 
7.0a to current release will not show a byte-by-byte comparison.  
Starting at offset 14F through offset 273 is off by 1 byte be-
cause of new assembler. I am making a list of differences for the 
next release.
