ZTerm v0.85 uses low level printing.  This works on the IW & LW, but
not on the DeskWriter (and maybe some others).  I am switching over to
using the Printing manager, so it should be compat with most printers 
and will give it more flexibility/options.

This is a bug.  On a restarted transfer, the final file will not have
the correct creator and type.  Also, there is usually another file
laying around with a similar name, the correct creator/type, and
zero length.  It'll be fixed also.

Since I have recently received mail asking when the next release will
be out, let me answer here as best I can.  I am somewhat embarassed
that it has been 6 months, but it seems I have only gotten about 2
months worth of work into it during that period.  There are a 
couple of special dates near the end of this month that I am shooting
for, but when I think of all the things I need to do, it seems unlikely
it will be ready.  At least the goal will make me work at it a little
more diligently.
