[Note: The problems with survex.com should now be permanently fixed]

As a continuation of the weekly ritual, Survex 1.0.12 is now available:

None of the changes are particularly relevant for users on RISC OS or
with MSDOS on 286 or earlier machines, so I won't bother building those
versions this time unless you prod me.

Here's the usual summary of changes in 1.0.12:

* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.

* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.

* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
  (both cover Eastern European languages).
 
* (MS Windows Version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
  permission to include the icon).

* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
  again.

* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.

* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.

* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.

Cheers,
Olly
