	We realized that the VT100 emulation in version 1.1 of MicroPhone was
quite inadequite, which is why both MicroPhone II and MicroPhone 1.5 both
do a quite solid VT102 emulation which has no problem with either vi or emacs.

	Version 1.5 is available for $15 from Software Ventures Corp for those who
wish to upgrade.  The other differences between 1.1 and 1.5 include better 
support for currently hardware/system software, bug fixes, better printer
output and FULL MULTIFINDER COMPATIBILITY (both scripting and transfers)!

	To our knowledge, this is not the case.  All versions of MicroPhone
(since 1.0) have adhered the MacBinary (both MBI and MBII) standards and as
such should have set the Creation and Mod dates ASSUMING that the uploading
application properly set those fields of the MacBinary ehader.
