Just updated LA36 to 0.85

Mike Douglas PUNMSG (added SIO 0/1 output) added.
readtape.c to read the "PUNMSG" headers added.
File send/receive including ASR support.
Audio files to /usr/share/local/la36
la36.txt added with some more information

"-i file" now takes input from file or fifo. "-d device" still takes input/output
as a terminal with keyboard.

As a fun aside - I received the nickname "ratboy" at SUN Microsystems in the late 90s.
I had nominated "Ben" as the worst pop-song ever. I added the 666 when "ratboy" conflicted with someone else. Just feeling... devilish. I like it.

Tab handling is broken. The problem lies in the tab() routine, which updates the variable col and calls p() which changes col again. The fix is to remove the "col += i" statement, or better yet, replace the whole function body by a "do p(' '); while (col & 7);":

void tab(void) {
do p(' '); while (col & 7);
}
