Hello all,

   Mark Hessling provided a fix to a rather serious bug in the
Win32a (graphical) flavor of PDCurses.  It turns out that the
way Win32a stored font and screen size preferences in the Windows
registry required administrative privileges in Vista and Win7 (and,
at least in some cases,  XP).  If you weren't an administrator,
ran a Win32a app,  and changed the font or screen size or menu
display,  you'd find that the next time you ran that app,  all
of your settings would be lost.  See

http://www.projectpluto.com/win32a.htm

   for the current version.  (Which includes a few other small
fixes,  to SLK handling and to allow 64-bit chtypes on the Win32
console flavor of PDCurses.
