This fixes a couple of bugs/misfeatures: Version 4.3a Bug fix by Jerry Leichter Version 4.4 From sra@idx.com These are changes to BOSS.C (any version) to minimize the UW window switching. The P1_IAC, P1_FN_OSELW sequence needs to be given only when the output window changes. These modifications eliminate the excessive I/O. Version 4.5 From sra@idx.com When a pseudo-terminal goes away, a LIB$FREE_VM_PAGE should be done to reclaim the virtual space associated with that terminal. If this is not done, the space isn't reused and boss may fail to init subprocesses!
