----- README-3.6 -------------------------------------------------------------
New features:

	* ffx/ffxqt (UUCP-like) transport mechanism for mail/news via
	  a FIDO mailer.

	* Improved bounce messages (including to, from, subj, date,
	  and the entire message if desired).

	* Rerouting to point addresses using aliases.

	* aliases, areas, hosts entries stored in memory - faster.

	* hosts allows specification of fully qualified domain names,
	  and registration of nodes without a host name.

	* Separate domain for hosts entries.

	* BinkleyTerm outbound routines including mapping UNIX server
	  <-> MSDOS NFS client.

	* Improved address conversion, User_Name@2:2452/110 is
	  understood, too.

	* New utilities.

	* Major rewrite of the C code and many small changes.


Bugs fixed:

	* Lots of them ... ;-)
