ANNOUNCE: dnprogs 2.04

[Patrick Caulfield <patrick@pandh.demon.co.uk>]

dnprogs 2.04 has hit the web site with bug fixes and new features (see below). 
Alpha binaries should be available early next week I hope.

Thanks to Paul and Rob for their contributions to this release.

Here's the NEWS extract:

- Fixed random crash in FAL when creating multiple files
- Fixed a memory leak in dncopy sending multiple files
- Fixed compilation on Slackware; I love linux having millions of distros :-(
- Made startnet give out more friendly messages
- dncopy now consults the DNCOPY_OPTIONS environment variable for default
  command-line arguments.
- Added RFA file access to FAL - this is more useful than it sounds, honest.
- Added support for files with variable length records (non-stream) to FAL.
  This needs metadata (-m) enabled.
- Fixed bug in fal where OOB ACCOMP messages never got a response. This was
  most obvious when editting a large file via EDT and quitting near the top.
- Removed dncopy.README as it didn't say anything anyway
- Include a modified dnping with all sorts of new features, submitted by 
  Rob Davies. man page by me.
- Sethost now supports RSTS/RSX and (allegedly) TOPS-20! Thanks to
  Paul Koning for the patch.
- Include rmtermd from Paul Koning so you can connect your PDP machines to 
  Linux too.
