[DGD]Network package 11.0 released

[harte at xs4all.nl]

WARNING: net-10.dgd-1.1.61 is buggy, upgrade to this new version ASAP!

I made net-11.0-dgd-1.1.61 available at the usual place:

  http://www.xs4all.nl/~harte/net/patches/net-11.0-dgd-1.1.61.gz

It should also appear at the other usual place soon:

  ftp://ftp.dworkin.nl/pub/dgd/pkg/net-11.0-dgd-1.1.61.gz

---- From dgd/src/Changelog.net:
Release 11.0:
   - Bumped release one up to avoid confusion with previous net-package
     released for DGD 1.1.61.  Let's make this symbolical for an increased
     effort in improving/maintaining the package.
   - Fixed open_port() and connect() kfun prototypes.
   - Changed documentation of both functions to show more clearly how they
     should be used.
----

Because there may be some fuzziness about open_port(), the following
note, please read carefully:

When calling open_port() with _2_ parameters, the 2nd parameter, being
the port-number, has to be within 1 and 65535.  Using open_port(.., 0)
is an error!

To use the 'pick a random port, anyone will do' feature, call
open_port() with _1_ parameter instead, which will be

  open_port("tcp") or
  open_port("udp").

Hope that helps.  As usual, feedback is appreciated. :-)

Erwin.
