Subject: LANManager/LANManFS updated

Hi,
Users of the 10/100 Master ethernet interface can now download the latest
software from
  http://www.sprow.co.uk/bbc/masternet.htm
in this version the key changes are

 * Addition of NTLM encryption
   This is needed to allow you to connect to Windows 7 shared folders as 
   Windows 7 has deprecated plain text passwords.
   There are screenshots of how to find the various settings in Windows 7
   at http://www.sprow.co.uk/bbc/masternetconnect.htm

 * Addition of OSWord API to give programmer access to the network
   There's the API document, previously discussed here, and two sample 
   programs written in BASIC. One is a network time protocol client to read
   the time, and the other a simple web server to deliver pages from the 
   Master.

 * Some minor bug fixes
   Drive names can now be used with *DIR and *LIB, and ":0" can be used as
   an alias for 'current drive' and ":drive" meaning ":drive.$".
   Handle range moved to not clash with HADFS.
   Help no longer hangs if the network module is not plugged in.

This upgrade does involve reprogramming the EPROM, you can either do this
yourself using the ROM image provided, or return the EPROM for reprogramming,
