[ct-user] New CT936 beta

[Ken Wolff]

There is a new CT936 beta in http://www.contesting.com/ctvault/ 

* CT now supports point and shoot for the band map:
  Use ALT RIGHT ARROW to enter the band map. Select a spot with the UP
ARROW or
  DOWN ARROW, then press <Enter>. This is similar to the Announce Window 
  point and shoot. When you are done, ALT F4 transfers you back to your 
  run frequency as usual. You may also select a QSO from the band map 
  and press the DEL key to delete it.

* Alt F4 has changed a bit. After you have a selected a spot through either
  the Announce Window point and shoot, or the Band Map Window point and shoot,
  ALT F4 will toggle between your run frequency and the selected spot.
  ALT F4 used to toggle between your run frequency and last spot in 
  the Announce Window. Using the new scheme, you can repeatedly toggle
  between your run frequency and the pileup, holding the run freq and 
  calling in the pileup.

* CT now supports thr FT920
* Fixed 940 bug
* Fixed networking crash
* Fixed SETDATE command (tnx K1AE)
* IARU check country is now fixed (tnx K3CT)
* Fixed crash on WRITELOG of large VHF logs (tnx K1TR)
* CT now reads and restores the CW sideband (upper or lower)
* CT now supports PTT on pin 16 of the LPT ports. Pin 16 is asserted for
one baud (dot period) before CW sending commences. This allows amplifier 
relays time to trip before the RF hits.
* Fixed the "long dash problem" when using the '+' key to confirm and qrz
* This version has a re-written communbications handler for talking to radios,
packet and networking. This is prep work for the Windows release
* FT840 added, but not tested (I dont't have a radio to test with).
