New "old" Scala version

By request, I've made another console (non-graphical) version of
Scala, version 1.8 for Windows 9x/NT/2000. It does not contain more
functions than the graphical version that will follow the current
version 2.02. So if you're happy with the GUI-version you can ignore
this post. The file is
http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/software/scala18win.zip

Homepage: http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala

To install, unpack scala18win.zip in an empty directory and
read the readme.txt file.
After startup, HELP shows the commands, and @HELP creates a window
with the help text.

Some of its new features:

- Some notation systems were added.
- Some chord names were added.
- COMPARE can also do approximate scale comparison.
- SHOW DATA gives more scale properties.
- The following new commands were added:
Key/Centre
Lattice/Notation/Triangular
Set Int_File
Show/Notation Scale
Show/Interval/Notation Scale
Show/Octcps Scale
Show Shifts

Thanks to Christopher Chapman, Dave Keenan, Sohrab Mohajerin, Margo
Schulter and Robert Walker.

I'm sorry, Manuel... but it it at all possible in a new GUI release
of SCALA to include the "improvements" by Robert Walker... such as
the Windows dialogue box for opening files, and the utility for
copying text messages.

I'm still using the DOS non-graphical version, but would use the GUI
one, except for the fact that it's difficult to piece together the
Walker "improvements" that I need to be satisfied with it...

I hope this isn't an annoying suggestion....

Thank you!

There's a menu-command now for copying window text to a file,
"Save window text to...".
I've been hesitating to add Robert's additions because I was
expecting the next Gtk+ version soon which has an improved file
dialog and clipboard fix, in order to avoid double work. But I
heard it will be several more months. Also, I'm short on file space.
It's funny that you use the console version which doesn't have
a file dialog because the GUI version doesn't have a good enough
file dialog...

Hello Manuel...

Yes, I *do* see the irony of this. Maybe when we start going in the
GUI direction we get "great expectations...."

Thanks for keeping *all* the various versions current for your
remarkable tool...
