My copy of PCPLUS 1.1A arrived this week.  Thus far I have not
noticed any differences, though the documents list several.

I've read several complaints about vt100 emulation in PCPLUS.
Specifically that a backspace in vi or emacs erases characters
on the screen (but not in the file) when a backspace should not
erase characters from the screen.  Well, if you change PCPLUS'
backspace interpretation from destructive to non-destructive, 
this "problem" will not occur. I use PCPLUS' vt100 emulation
*a lot* and have had no problems yet.
