Hi all,

I'd like to announce the final version of FD-KEYB 2.0, thereby ending
TAURUS project started long ago.

Changes:
- ADD: Beep support: after a wrong COMBI, or secondary buffer full
- ADD: Commands 162 (beep) and 164 (toggle beep on/off)
- BUG: Secondary buffer was habing problems with characters unhandled by KEYB
- ADD: commandline: /B: set beep of at boot
- ADD: commandline: /S: safemode (do not admit un-closed library
files, forbid strings, APM and other risky commands)
- BUG: command 142 empties secondary buffer too
- Resident code was reviewed and cleaned

Acknowledgements: MANY thanks to many people that helped out within
all the projects (Matthias Paul, Axel Frinke, Jim Hall (for FreeDOS),
Dietmar Höhmann, T. Kabe), and in this release, very special to Eric
Auer and Henrique Peron.

As I wish to embrace other FreeDOS projects, there will be a small
evolution through small evolutives in the 2.X projects (leaving maybe
some for the 3.X series). I just mention some of the planned changes:
- A first new release with lots of many more documents
- Improvements in library file manipulation (UPX support to save space)
- dynamic translations (as opposed to nowadays static ones)
- supplementary loadable mappings (e.g. multimedia, apm, ...)
- multiple layouts in memory
- accessibility options
- optional ussage of XMS
