It's been quite a bit longer than I planned since the last update to
Unix Frotz.  I've been sitting on a bunch of updates and I wanted to
wait until the voice I/O code was ready before making a new release.
Since it doesn't look like voice I/O won't be releasable for at least a
couple more months, I've pulled together all the other updates and made
version 2.43.  I've also taken the opportunity to clean up bad links on
the Unix Frotz webpage and move things around so they make a bit more
sense.

frotz-2.43.tar.gz is available now at
http://www.cs.csubak.edu/~dgriffi/proj/frotz and coming soon to an 
IF Archive mirror near you.




Summary of changes between Unix Frotz 2.42 and Unix Frotz 2.43:
===============================================================

Unix Frotz 2.43 was released on Monday October 28, 2002.

NEW FEATURES

- Dumb interface has been added as a compile target.
  See the DUMB file for commentary.

- Experimental voice input and output.  This code is not yet available
  to the public.  See the SPEECH file for more info.

- Added David Kinder's Unicode Test 1.0 to the Z-machine Test Suite

- Added Inform Randomization Test 1.0 to the Z-machine Test Suite.


ENHANCEMENTS

- Confirmed to work with NetBSD 1.6.x curses library.  Unlike with
  ncurses, color mode will work when $TERM is "xterm".  See the BUGS
  file for commentary.

- Consolidated and organized most global variables into a few global
  structs.

- Added patches from David Kinder to facilitate loading a new game
  without exiting Frotz entirely.  Files affected: buffer.c, process.c,
  and sound.c.

- Rewrote most documentation.  Fixed typos in the rest.

- Reorganized source tree to make portability to different platforms
  easier.  The bugtest/ directory is now src/test/ and is called the
  "Z-machine Test Suite".


BUG FIXES

- Finally changed all references in documentation and source of
  ftp.gmd.de to ftp.ifarchive.org.

- Fixed a problem with command-recording which caused "[999]" to be
  appended to every line in the file.

- Set some defaults to z_sound_effect for those games that for some
  wacky reason assume them (sound.c).

- Frotz now correctly sets 0x20 (CONFIG_SOUND) in the header to tell V6
  games that the interpreter supports sound (frotz.h ux_init.c).

- Correctly fixed the Ctrl-Space bug.  The previous fix broke NetBSD's
  newly-updated curses library.  See the BUGS file for more detail.

- OSS sound is fixed, thanks to Torbjorn Anderson!  Also applied some
  error-checking from someone whom I forget.
