New features



In system 9.1 and microcode 493, which need to be installed together, there are
a few new features:

Peek modes F (file status) and % (microcode meters)

A new choice in the system menu, Split Screen.  You can create any number
of windows of various types, and it will arrange them to fill up the screen
in a reasonable array.  It keeps giving you a menu of window types, and
you click the types you want, Done when you're done, or Quit to flush.

Package prefixes print out better.

It will ask you nicely to log in instead of printing an obnoxious error message.

The keyboard buffer is bigger.  The keyboard buffering mechanism has been
generalized to work for arbitrary input devices, mainly for HIC.
