I pulled winqvt32.arc off SIMTEL20.ARPA yesterday evening, and like what
I've seen so far.  For those of you not familiar with winqvt, it is a
VT220 terminal emulator that runs under Windows 2.03.  This version is
a vast improvement over the last release of WinQVT;  the previous
version was too annoying to use, and not worth registering.

I do have some questions/complaints about this release, and perhaps
there is someone on the net who can respond.  I am running on a Zenith
Z-159 with a VGA monitor.

1)  The QVT window does not have the maximize box symbol (Up arrow in
upper right hand corner).  Was this deliberately omitted, or is it a
consequence of my VGA monitor?  The default sized box is just too small
to be easily read.

2)  When QVT is shrunk to an icon, the icon doesn't appear on the
screen, though space is reserved for it!  When I click once on the
spot where I would expect to find the terminal icon (remember, it's
just a blank spot) the terminal icon suddenly appears!  I tried
changing the screen background color and texture, but this did not
correct the "vanishing icon" problem.

3)  A co-worker would like to be able to run at 19.2K, but QVT only
supports speeds to 9600 baud.  Could a 19.2K option be added?

Other than these questions, this seems to be a fine product.  If I
could resize the terminal screen to a more reasonable size, I'd send
the shareware company $50 for the manual.
