SubjectNew binary for Windows
The file csound_win.zip in pub/dream/newest is of 3.484; this is mainly
a bug-fixing release.  There are new features (such as Maldonado's flanger)
and many internal changes.  Lok at teh -z option to see some of the
changes.
  I will prepare a few better notes later.  Sources and other platforms
will lfollow.

These notes cover the changes recently, since 3.483 (late June).  Many
internal changes have led to better organised code, and have removed a
number of name-clashes.  There are some incompatible changes which I
hope peopel will accept as improvements.  In particular a numer of
opcodes which bean with i k or a have been renamed, thereby freeing
the name-space.

In no particular order the changes are....

v option in score introduced

#include looks at given name, then same directory as orch or score (as
appropriate) and finally in environment parameter INCDIR before failing

Fixed problems with nested macros

AIFC-32 float support

Code merge with the Berry, Ingalls, Madole port

-z option nolonger reports internal opcodes such as oscilaa

Check that #include file can be opened

Allow digits in macro names in both definition and use

The noise generators kgauss, igauss and agauss renamed all to be
gauss, and internal recognition of the case.  Same for all other noise
generators.

Improvements in wgflute.

Fix [..] in score comments.

wgclar, wgflute, wgbowed, wgbrass skip initialisation if lowestfreq is
negative. 

New opcode, flanger from Maldonado

GEN1: Changes to make multi-channels better

rand: If seed provided is greated that 1 use it directly rather than scaling.

Bug fix: Extending instrument numbering

Removed voscili, as it did not work well and gave little new functionality,
Shaker: one unused argument was removed.

Some cosmetic changes to the windows front-end.

**Known bugs:  wgclar has tuning problems.
