  is being skipped and play is paused, stops a short blurt of old song

  so that an external program cna change them without fear of the server
  over-writing the changes.  Major change! Hope this doesn't corrupt stuff :)

  of fingerprints

0.14 - Mar 21st 1999

- Fixed it so EPIPEs are handled better
- GAP without parameter now returns current value and is implemented better
- The server will now try not to play two consequetive queued tracks from the
  same user
- Server now reports to human users same-named tracks that they rate

0.12 - Mar 17th 1999
--------------------
- Fixed bugs in new routines
- Fixed output buffer bug
- Made sure malloc errors generally don't kill server, only user it affects
- Wrote new sort routine for sorting tracks according to ratings, since the
  old bubble sort was really slow.

0.11 - Mar 16th 1999
--------------------
- Computer users don't cause a recalculation of ratings, should make clients
  that connect and disconnect quickly less likely to cause lag
- Major change in the way tracks are handled - mserv was originally designed
  so that tracks didn't know what album they were in, so that they could
  appear in multiple albums.  This would allow for compilations to be created
  by users etc.  This is now deemed too complicated, albums now know which
  album they are in.
- Added getrate function and removed lots of similar routines.
- Finally decided that since mserv.c was bigger than the binary that it
  might be time to split it up into two files, mserv.c and cmd.c.

-------------------
- Fixed some minor language problems
- Fixed VOLUME/BASS/VOLUME so that - or + without a number works
- INFO now says "unknown" for the year, if it's unknown
- Changed it so that the last time a track is played is set at the END
  of the song, hence INFO returns more helpful info for current track
- Fixed KICK so -ve value isn't allowed
- Added RESET command
- Fixed AUTHOR/NAME command
- Added YEAR command
- Changed MASTER command to LEVEL command and added PRIV level to the existing
  levels of GUEST, USER and MASTER.
- Made command table nicer by using new enumerated userlevel type instead of
  flags for master, user, etc.
- At last, the music server sorts the tracks in an album according to filename

--------------------
- Added AUTHORS command to display authors and totals

- Added 'X AUTHORID' to return the author ID for a given author
- Added 'X AUTHORINFO' to return the author for a given ID
