As i will be incommunicado for a while, and I have made so many
changes, I am about to transfer version 3.485 to pub/dream in binary
and ZIPped source.

There are a great deal of changes; mainly bug fixes, but the one
significant change is that the spectrum opcode is now working, and it
replaces the earlier nocdft opcode.  The arguments for specptrk are
now as in the manual, strset is fully functional.  Also interpretation
of \ character has changed again -- still not happy with this.  Some
changes in MIDI (like program change commands no longer crash things),
and so on.  I have not finished the user interface part of MIDI so you
will have to wait or ignore it (or use the command line version)

Matt has most of this code in his beta version, so while it might look
as if we are out of step, we are closer than we have been for ages.

There will be a gap before any bug fixes as I will be on holiday until
10 September, and I am not taking my comuputer or taking net access.
So I hope this version works as well for you as it does for me!
