-----------------------
Release 1.1a (changes):
- fixed problem: Loaded .cmd tables were disabled
by default.
- fixed bug: Looked for wrong ini file entry for
translation tables.
- fixed bug: Bringing up Selection, when all entry
are set to off, could cause a segment violation.

segment violation (thanks to James S. Blachly)

Still in development, too slow, not looking good
disabled by default.

Toru Egashira to play MOD files.
Modifications to nspmod:

+ Included slightly modified version of amp-0.7.3 by
Tomislav Uzelac to play MP3 files.

renamed sheet to hfield

calculate frames/second relative to last change

Add entry in "/usr/info/dir" only, when there is no Cthugha entry
already there.
