      This is to announce a new beta test cycle for pcvt 3.20 beta 7.

Pcvt is a video/keyboard driver for i386-based NetBSD (0.9, 1.0 and -current)
                and for FreeBSD (1.0, 1.1R, 1.1.5.1R and 2.0).

Pcvt has almost full VT220 compatibility, supports national keyboard remapping,
24/25/28/40/50 lines and 80/132 columns and a configurable number of virtual
screens for character terminal and X11 sessions. It comes with a complete set
of fonts, utilities and documentation for easy integration into the above
mentioned systems.

Please test the now present support for NetBSD 1.0 and FreeBSD 2.0 !

[Joerg Wunsch made patches for FreeBSD 2.0 which i integrated into my tree but
 since i still don't have FreeBSD 2.0 i could not verify the integration. Any
 feedback from people getting this beta running on their FreeBSD 2.0 System
 (or even 2.0.5 :-) is very welcome!!!]

New in beta 7 since beta 2 is
        - support for NetBSD 1.0 (and -current)
        - support for FreeBSD 2.0
        - the screen is no longer cleared when booting, the boot messages
          are preserved
	- the screen is no longer cleared when switching screen size
	- bugfixes and enhancements, see Doc/ChangeLog
