If you are using networking, be sure to back up critical files from your %ETC% directory, including 'hosts' and 'wattcp.cfg', is they are included blank in the distribution, also your ssl directory. **************************************************************************** ENHANCEMENTS and FIXES over last (2.0) Release include: Curses module support for multibyte keys and characters improved. os.path.dirname and realpath fixed to accomodate '\\' seperator and '/'.
