This version brings several enhancements for cross-development (thanks to Krusty). It corrects also several small bugs and brings some enhancements in emulation code (thanks to Kevin Thacker). Then, it brings structural modifications to ameliorate portability and 64bit compatibility.

New feature of this version : you can define the sync byte for headerless.
Corrected in this version :
command-line processing under windows and linux has been re-written. It is a lot better
if you uses the mode with 2 blocks and you gave it a file which was shorter than a block it would not write it correctly. Now fixed
When using pure tone it didn't write the length of the '1' pulse correctly
