                I had this in before cleaning up but thought it
                was not needed (nothing failed here).
                <li>read() will toss an IOException (caught in the
                examples below but not in this library) if read
                thinks there will be a deadlock.
                <li>Some small fixes found while merging with rxtx 2.0
                for public release.  Just sanity checks for library

                <li>- everything is in synch with the public CVS and
                public prerelease bins are out and being tested.
                fix for lockup found.
                <li>removed Python and Cygwin code (ZystemImp.c)
                <li>removed extra attempts to fix lockup
                <li>removed previous attempts to fix tcrash
                <li>- the solution before was to avoid using the
                <li>API but now it appears to work with it -crazy
                <li>wrote Zystem (probably will be a seperate
                library) for logging over the network. Some
                attempts to fix lockup bugs.
                <li>-pedantic compile passes.
                <li>termios.c cleanup (w32)
                <li>More LPT support for w32
                <li>initial LPT support for w32

                <li>suite serial passes (W2K SP2)
                <li>debug for flow control and parity switched off.
                <li>Later stage tinkering with flowcontrol and parity
                fixes.  Possibly bugs (w32 has many ways this can
                be setup).
                <li>testRead() now uses //./COM9 to verify port is
                usable (fixes bug introduced in pre3)
                <li>build used java/jar/javac 1.3.1_06-b01
                <li>-- initial tinkering with parity --
                <li>fixed //./COM?? so matlab can do s=serial('COM16')
                -- needed to test tcrash.m
                <li>support for COM1-16 on w32 using //./COM??
                <li>Mark/Space parity fixes on w332
