BNeT 3.03 beta (STinG version)

In this new version the speed during file transfers approaches the 
theoretical limit of the interface used, ie on a 115200 bps serial line
the speed is about 11 KB/s, with ethernet a bit higher than using FTP !
(on my TT and Falcon using RTL 8012 pocket adapters, more than 70 KB/s).

BNET.XFS is now the same for both STinG and MagiCNet. Several improvements
have been made at the interface to the MagiC kernel. It has been tested on
a TT, a 16 MHz Falcon, a STE and a Pentium III runing MagiC PC v 6.0  and
no problems have been found.

Tests with MagXDesk v 4.0 were successful and the old Dsetpath problem seems
fixed (ie now a link can be on the desktop and the connection is made no
matter if the network drive has been activated). The problem with dir tree
(ie Show Info for a folder that contains other folders) is still here
(speed reasons). A new variable (eg DIR_STYLE = slow/fast) can be added
in BNET_XFS.INF for MagXDesk users. Jinnee and Thing have no problem since
they both use a more clever method for copying/showing folders.

As usual with betas, this version can not be distributed before the final
release. Please report any bugs to "papval@otenet.gr". Note that this is
a beta, use it at your own risk, no responsibility will be taken etc, etc.
