On Tuesday February 24 I ordered the aztec upgrade (3.20 commercial to
3.40 developer) and it arrived UPS yesterday March 2.  Very prompt service.

One of the first things I did was to recompile VT100 2.6.  There were
several difficulties:

1)	"RAM: disk full".  Running Matts's shell, popcli, and with the
	c.lib in ram: I could only compile the smaller modules.  Had to
	delete the c.lib from ram: to compile the rest. (I have only 
	512K and an external floppy.)

2)	The new assembler has a 'blanks' directive that defaults to 'on',
	which means that all comments must be preceded by a ';'.  Had to
	edit the newbindings.asm.

3)	The new executable is 45468 vs. 45936 for 3.20a.

4)	The new executable does not recognize initialization file commands.
	On the workbench screen I get messages like:

	INIT - unknown command:
	nuMKEY	ON

	Always the first two characters are lower case and the rest upper
	(the commands are entirely upper case in the file).  My script file
	seems to work ok (at least it dials the modem and logs me in).

5)	After downloading some files I logged off and clicked on the close
	gadget and the machine froze--no pointer movement, nothing. This
	has not reoccured so maybe it was a fluke.

In setting up my system disk I copied all the include files, the libs, and 
those executables I wanted.  Could these problems be something I did (or
didn't) do, or is something in vt100 2.6 incompatible with 3.40?
