This component has been updated (now rev 1.27), along with the 16-bit FOSSIL
driver counter-part (dosxtrn.exe, rev 1.18) for better performance and
compatibility with more programs (e.g. more accurate UART/COM port emulation).

You can download this update as ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbsexec.zip

After upgrading to this update, the "yield" control is handled in
exec/sbbsexec.ini (not in SBBSCTRL->Telnet->Configure->External Yield) and can
be tuned on a per-program/application basis (see sbbsexec.ini for details).

Again, if you find any BBS programs (e.g. door games) that don't work with this
driver (in either FOSSIL or UART/COM mode), please let me know!

Thanks,
