Hi Guys,

Here is a new STinG HYP (version 1.20a) for use with ST-Guide.

Changes made:

1: Edited header to guarantee inclusion of correct date in all future versions.
   This was done by replacing some text (unedited since 1997) with a macro.
   I also added my own name to that of Peter in the 'author' string.

2: Defined a new version number system for beta HYPs.  These will use the same
   version number as the last public full release archive, plus a letter that
   is started at 'a' and then incremented for each intermediate version. When
   a new public full release archive is made, its HYP gets the same version
   code as the release archive.  Finally all will know what is what...

3: Added aliases for all TCP API functions, both in TRANSPORT_LAYER and in
   MODULE_LAYER, so that these can be found by function name in REFs. That
   means that if you have ST-Guide as an ACC and edit a program in a smart
   editor (eg: Everest or QED).  Then you can simply place the cursor on
   a call to some STinG function and press [Help].  ST-Guide will then
   bring up the correct page of the STinG HYP, documenting that function.
   The same also works for many important structures (eg: CIB, TCPIB, etc.)

4: Added documentation for TCP_info function and TCPIB structure, including
   recommended usage. Also in other sections with references to how TCP_info
   can be used in connection with those functions.  This includes full docs
   on the new DEFER mode for special servers and why and how they can use it.

5: Added documentation for UDP_info function and UDPIB structure, including
   all stuff relevant to UDP in similar ways to how it was done for TCP_info
   and TCPIB above.

6: Added documentation for the new TCP_close prototype with full explanation
   of how the new mode works, when and how to use it, and how it still has
   full binary level compatibility with programs compiled with older libs.

Sorry guys, but that's all for now.  I hope you find it useful.

I'll try to improve installation and config docs soon as well, and then that
HYP will be released to the public.  That should reduce the flow of 'newbie'
questions a little anyway, as they can avoid the worst pitfalls themselves.
