 configuration.

VERSION 1.30.002, Changes made from previous version:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1-08-95  Problem: event chars over 7FH not working due to character
  definitions in DCB being of type (char) instead of (BYTE).
  Fixed dcb character references to include cast (BYTE) so neg. translation
  does not occur - kpb.

VERSION 1.30.001, Changes made from previous version:
-----------------------------------------------------------
12-22-95  added support for non-standard baud rate indexes for:
CBR_92160   0xff22

VERSION 1.25, Changes made from previous version:
-------------------------------------------------
11-30-95 Add support for baud rates of 153600 and 460800.  Constants
 defined as:
#define CBR_153600 0xff24
#define CBR_460800 0xff25

11-28-95 Add RocketPort PCI support,
         combine Microchannel support into same driver.
         New setup.exe program which does de-install,
         and upgrade to Windows For Workgroups Driver.

VERSION 1.24, Changes made from previous version:
-------------------------------------------------
10-11-95 set the XON/XOFF characters looked for (received in input stream)
    according to the byte values XonChar/XoffChar in the dcb.

VERSION 1.23, Changes made from previous version:
-------------------------------------------------
10-06-95 fix event notifications when in cts auto-handshake mode so
  that notifications still occur and modem-status is updated. - kpb

VERSION 1.22, Changes made from previous version:
-------------------------------------------------
10-05-95 add new baud rate functions which support any baud rate physically
  possible(drop 50 baud) - kpb


VERSION 1.21, Changes made from previous version:
-------------------------------------------------
8-14-95
 allow baudrates in builddcb of 128000/115200 or 256000/230400

8-11-95
  BUG: OpenCom() would fail if com-port name was in lower case.
  Allow lower case in call to OpenCom() as in "com##". In DevControlToCid().

8-11-95 Fixed EscapeComm(SETRTS/CLRRTS) functions to handle override of
 RTS output correctly.  Calling SETRTS while fRTSFlow mode turned on would
 stop the auto-flow control from working.  Also CLRRTS had no effect.
 Fixed version will allow for manual CLRRTS while in fRTSflow mode,
 calling SETRTS will re-enable auto RTS flow control. kpb.

10-15-96 V1.3 Formal release.

9-24-96 V1.21.002 add enable/disable interrupts to protect

  Add fix for rocketui.dll configuration dialog program.  The Scan Rate
  value was not being written to the registry correctly.   The faulty

  test terminal.

3-25-96 V1.13.002

3-1-96 V1.13 Release(WFWG3.11)
  Fixed 10-second timeout waiting for Tx data to finish on port
  close.  Previously, if Tx data still transmitting during close,
  it would always stall for the full 10-seconds.

2-21-96 V1.12.004
  change baud-rate mapping scheme, update Device-Manager
  sheet, clarify some user error messages.  Fix configuration
  sheet bug associated with some newer PCI models.

  not handling return value as per MS, fixed.
