ESD Terminal v0.94

ESD Terminal version 0.94 has now been loaded. This program is a serial terminal program designed to be used with a Bluegiga bluetooth device, or as a simple serial terminal. The changes include fixing some button functions (such as Call SPP which went missing), improving the speed on old computers, adding a Hex(adecimal) mode, echo, SPP and BGIO toolbars which are saved when the program is exited. The .cfg file contains all the settings in text format and can be viewed with Notepad.

ESD Terminal has some advantages over Putty which appears to be the default Windows 7 serial terminal program. ESD Terminal can handle a broken connection, and will automatically try to reconnect once a second. More features will be added to ESD Terminal, and the next one is to be able to log all data to a file. Any suggestions for improvements will be listened to carefully.
