MacNetrek/ndb version 1.0b2
(Jiang Wu, 12/21/1993)

I made a lot of bug fixes and protocol changes in this version hoping that
the new version will be more stable and more playable.

Here is a list of major improvements.  The programs effected by the change
is indicated in parenthesis.  The order of list is not significant.

    * Fixed the Kli BB causing junks to be displayed problem. This was
      the result of an design flaw in the previous communication
      protocol.  Fixing this may have also fixed any other "junks on
      screen" problems.  (MacNetrek, ndb)

    * Fixed a memory leak at the start of the program.  This memory
      leak may be the cause of MacNetrek hanging during startup for many
      of you. (MacNetrek)

    * Fixed a VBL retrace problem.  The screen updates are now correctly
      (I hope) synchronized with the vertical retrace beam for those of
      you using video cards.  (MacNetrek)

    * Added option to change update rate from ndb.  Potentially, you
      can play MacNetrek through a 2400 baud modem using 3 udpates/sec.
      (MacNetrek, ndb)

    * Added macros (more like shortcuts) to help you dial and start the
      ndb program on UNIX program.  (MacNetrek)

    * Modified the playerlist so that they show the same information as
      the regular netrek client. (MacNetrek, ndb)

    * Added ability to toggle receive or not receive 'All', 'Team',
      'Individual', and 'Kill' messages.  (MacNetrek, ndb)

    * Added command to reset your stats. (MacNetrek, ndb)

    * Added ability to set the wait timer.  (MacNetrek, ndb)

    * Changed ndb so that it updates one player at a time for the
      galactic map instead of updating all players at once.  This
      saves a lot of modem bandwidth.  (ndb)

    * Added ability to select UDP or TCP for ndb to server connection from
      MacNetrek. (MacNetrek)

    * Fixed a bug in MacNetrek that may be the cause of MacNetrek not
      responding to your race selection during the entry window. (MacNetrek)
