Hello all,

I am now uploading a new ECSB.ZIP (ECSU.ZIP is now obsolete).

I have placed a speaker-volume command ("ALT1" for LOW volume) in
PHNC0.SET (I'll explain why later). This should cause no problem
with normal usage, as sound is normally routed thru the WAVE card,
unless you specifically command ECS to do otherwise (SPEAK->PC:SP).

I could REALLY use some feedback regarding my overall approach for #29.

I "cleaned up" the phone-session logic a bit. I tested
I tested it somewhat, but it could definitely use more.

Thanks.

Recent changes:

   25)	A problem has been corrected which caused an erroneous error
	message when ECS attempted to terminate VR.EXE.

   26)	A new button ("HALT") has been added to the Group/Event Screens,
	for use in disabling/enabling event-processing (like Ctrl-A).

   27)	The buttons and fields in the Group/Event/Item windows have
	been reorganized.

*  28)	The "INITIATE", "ACKNOWLEDGE", & "TERMINATE", & Parameters of
	the VOICE-SESSION Type have been merged into one ("INIT/ACK/TERM"),
	whereby each is separated by a comma. Also, a new Parameter
	("SESSION") has been added (inserted BEFORE "ACCESS").
	For example, this:
		|Item:Voice-Session             Type:Voice-Session ...
		|	Initial State:(none) ...
		|	Initiate     :Hello
		|	Acknowledge  :OK
		|	Terminate    :Goodbye
		|	Access       :User

	would be changed with this:
		
		|Item:Voice-Session             Type:Voice-Session ...
		|	Initial State:(none) ...
		|	Init/Ack/Term:Hello,OK,Goodbye
		|	Session      :PC
		|	Access       :User

*  29)	VR is now supported for remote calls. In-house phone VR is
	also "supported" to some degree. For details on both, see
	VOICE-SESSION in ECS.HTM.
